Safety island light box
In 1973, the Hong Kong Public Works Department (which was split into several departments in 1982, including the Highways Department, etc.) began to try out various measures to improve traffic safety. One of them was the introduction of the second-generation "safety island light box" from the United Kingdom. The reason why it is called the "Morrison Light" is most likely to commemorate its introduction - the senior policeman of the Ministry of Transport - Morrison.
The feature of this new light signal is that it uses lower-cost plastic materials, and the bulb is placed in the plastic shell, which emits light at night so that drivers can see it from any direction. It is cheap and good-looking during the trial period. widely acclaimed. Another major breakthrough is the replacement of traffic symbols that meet international standards, that is, arrows are used instead of cumbersome text descriptions, so that drivers can make driving judgments more quickly.
It was reported that the first batch of trial devices appeared in Garden Road, Nathan Road and To Kwa Wan Road, and there were two models. It is worth mentioning that the common big head design has never appeared in the UK before. This may be the "improvement" mentioned by the newspapers, and it can be regarded as a local design in Hong Kong.
Unknowingly, the "Morrison Lights" have silently guarded the traffic safety of Hong Kong for more than 40 years. They have suffered from wind and rain, and the day of retirement is getting closer. Everyone may wish to pay more attention to these precious lights on the street. "Indigenous Transportation Device"
In order to preserve this precious local memory, Dingdang specially used a shrinking flashlight to shrink the safety island lights, and refurbished it with time cloth. I hope everyone will support it.
