It’s a street crossing for the ‘majjali ta’ Malta’. They stop there for a break to enjoy a meal. It’s also called a ‘hanzirata’.

NB. Slop – is pig food for the agriculturally retarded not a new English word.

Well, go on and tell them. It could inspire Evarist Bartolo in his crusade against illiteracy.

It is a cleverly coded message for drivers to first slow down, and then stop. This road is narrow, so the message has to be condenced. We may be on the way to give a new word to the English language. !!SLOP!!

It was just a SLIP between STOP and SLOW. Maybe who was writing it was under the influence of strong anti-histamines due to hay fever caused by strong whiffs of paint and was writing Zombie style. Nothing that a quick visit to the local minister/gp would not cure.

SLOP

In the end, he colour-coded everything, and it worked.
