Even Dogs Know the Kerb Drill
Description
British Second World War poster produced to promote road safety. The poster targets what the Ministry of Information called the 'Kerb Drill' - the practice of looking both left and right before crossing the street.
The main purpose for posters such as this was one was to promote road safety. By doing this, it aimed at reducing road accidents and thus a reduction in supplies and resources in treating them that could otherwise be put towards the war effort.
