Road Safety for our Children Stamp

This set of unusual, colourful and attractively presented stamps issued in June 1993 by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Department of Road Safety in Israel. The stamps are the result of a National Stamp Drawing Competition. School children from all over the country participated in the competition. Three children’s drawings – grades 5, 6, and the graduation class from Yehud, Bezet and Tel Aviv were chosen for the stamps. They depict street traffic and traffic signs; a small child escorted by its parents across a pedestrian crossing; a police robot headed by a smiling, whitegloved hand which beckons pedestrians and stops the traffic. On the tabs below, some of these traffic emblems are reproduced, significantly with the following words from Scripture: “Therefore take good heed to yourselves” (Deut. 4:15).

The stamps with an information sheet are enclosed in a plastic protection sheet.
