The department six months ago commissioned a designer to create the posters, but did not notice the error until it was pointed out by the resident earlier this month, it said.
The department would investigate those responsible for the oversight and update the public on its actions this week, it said, adding that a committee would be formed to inspect all public documents produced by the department before they are released to the public.
The posters, which were intended to teach children how to safely cross the road, bears cartoon images of two children and a female police officer, along with the message: “Please use the crosswalk. Do not contravene traffic laws when crossing the road.” [FULL STORY]
