The Highway Code for Northern Ireland - the way to safety : His Majesty's Stationery Office, Belfast, 1936

The UK's first Highway Code was issued in 1931 and this is an early version of the Northern Ireland version. Printed in 1936 it was published by authority of the Minister of Home Affairs. It details basic points as to road safety and driving, including drivers hand signals. Oddly it does not contain road or traffic signs as reference.

 

The cover proudly announces the Code as "The way to safety" - as the Minister notes in his foreword "the cultivation of habits of prudence on the road becomes an absolute necessity".
