The Highway Code for Northern Ireland : HMSO : Belfast : 1955 : traffic signs

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 which "must be obeyed" and signs that "prohibit or restrict" the use of the road. They are of course of the old style of road traffic signs, revised in 1944, that were replaced under the 1964 design changes implemented by the Worboys Committee.
