About this seller
Product description
Who remembers the man with the red flag who used to be required to walk in front of every car?
This sign commemorates the repeal of this law, which limited cars to 19 km/h (12 mph) instead of the usual 4 to 6 km/h (2 to 3 mph).
This decorative sign features an illustration of the Daimler Motor-Lastwagen (Motor-Wagon) from 1896, the world's first truck model.
The sign commemorates the London-Brighton Emancipation Run of 1896, which had a speed limit of 12 mph (approximately 19 km/h).
The run celebrated the Emancipation Act, which abolished the need for a man with a red flag to walk in front of motor vehicles.
A beautiful collector's item that will give you a story to tell your (grand)children.
Good condition, undamaged, bright colors.
