A Long Way Off?
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Vintage Road Safety Poster Encouraging Caution and Patience Among Pedestrians This evocative and thought-provoking road safety poster, titled "A Long Way Off?", is a captivating reminder of the importance of road safety, particularly for children. The image depicts two young children, a girl and a boy, attempting to cross a busy road. In the foreground, they are shown standing on the pavement, holding hands and looking both ways before starting to cross. In the background, however, the scene shifts to reveal a much different reality. The children's perspective is deceptive, as the onlooker soon realizes. In the distant background, a car and a lorry are shown approaching the intersection at an alarming speed. The caption, "Drivers travel much faster than we do!", serves to emphasize the danger that lurks just beyond the children's reach. The historical context of this poster, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, adds to its allure. The design of "A Long Way Off?" is both simple and effective, with its bold colors and clear message. The use of perspective and depth creates a sense of urgency and highlights the need for caution and patience among pedestrians. The poster serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and the potential dangers that come with crossing a busy road. As we reflect on this vintage road safety poster, we are reminded of the historical significance of such campaigns in promoting road safety and reducing accidents. The message remains as relevant today as it was when this poster was first created, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on road safety, transportation history, or public health and safety.
