The Highway Code for Northern Ireland : HMSO : Belfast : 1955 : traffic signs 2
I have to admit to ignorance of the fact that a separate Highway Code was issued for Northern Ireland as in this 1955 edition. There are some minor differences such as in the subsitution of local place names on direction signs and the various Road Acts and Regulations are versions promulgated as being specific to Northern Ireland. I do like the line about "you must not loiter on pedestrian crossings'.
These pages show signs that 'warn' and 'inform' and are of the pre-Worboys designs that had been revised in 1944. This shows the original 'schools' sign using the torch of knowledge or learning that was replaced after 1955 by the school-children symbols.
The direction signs use local destinations to explain and so the A29 to Coleraine, the A37 to Limavady and the B186 to Dungiven appear.
