EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Don't Bother Police," is a fascinating glimpse into the history of traffic management and law enforcement on highways in the early 20th century. The image, taken in 1934, shows a policeman standing at the side of a busy road, his back to the camera, as he focuses intently on directing the flow of motor traffic. The sign above him, clearly visible to passing motorists, reads "Do not hinder a policeman on point duty by asking questions, for, in doing so, you may be also obstructing three or more lines of traffic." At the time, point duty was a crucial aspect of highway safety and traffic control. Policemen on point duty were responsible for ensuring the smooth flow of traffic, directing vehicles around obstacles, and maintaining order on the roads. The importance of their work is underscored by the serious tone of the sign, which warns against hindering or bothering them with questions. The photograph also provides a fascinating insight into the evolution of transportation and the changing nature of policing. With the increasing popularity of automobiles in the 1930s, the need for effective traffic management became more pressing than ever before. The policeman in this photograph represents the human face of this new challenge, standing as a sentinel against the relentless flow of traffic. The image is a reminder of the rich history of policing and transportation, and the vital role that both have played in shaping our modern world. It is also a testament to the enduring importance of clear communication and effective traffic management, which continue to be crucial issues in the 21st century.
