EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a Belgian Traffic Police officer diligently performing his duties in the 1930s. The officer, dressed in his distinctive gents' uniform, stands at a busy city intersection, directing traffic with the utmost precision and authority. But what sets him apart from his contemporaries is the unique equipment he uses to shield himself from the harsh Belgian sun. The officer wears a white helmet, a practical measure to protect his head from the glare, and a wide parasol, an ingenious solution to keep the sun's rays at bay. The parasol, with its large canopy, effectively screens the officer from the sun, ensuring he can focus on his task without being distracted or endangered by the intense heat. Belgium was one of the first countries to recognize the importance of protecting its traffic policemen from the sun's harmful effects. The use of white helmets and wide parasols was a forward-thinking initiative that not only ensured the safety and comfort of the officers but also contributed to the overall efficiency of the traffic management system. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovative solutions that were implemented to address the challenges of urban life in the 1930s. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing the well-being and safety of those who keep our cities running smoothly, even in the most unexpected ways.
