Street signage is all about readability, about ensuring the viewer/motorist understands the pictogram. When UK road signs were being redesigned in the 1960s by Calvert and Kinnier there was a clear imperative to ensure there was no ambiguity. However, some 50 plus years later in Australia I encounter these, minus hands and feet:
Footless and handless person seeks to cross
Sign seen in Brisbane car park
How much more satisfying is this, with both hands and feet – anatomically perfect!
