Der Zweite Weltkrieg zum Krieg war ein Mangel an Treibstoff und so begannen sie, die Fahrräder weiter zu benutzen

I’ve been there lots since the 70s & can attest to the poor state of the roads. Yes they were mostly dirt roads. Paved roads were shockingly bad. Malta didn’t have traffic lights until 1996 & then it was only one set for the island for quite a long time

> From what my wife tells me, a great deal of Maltese roads were not asphalt/tarmac until the mid 90s and only the wealthy had cars, to the point they’d stop playing games and wave at cars.

What are you and your wife smoking? Every man in Malta owned a car by the 60s. Never mind the 90s.

Traffic lights existed in the early seventies in B’kara . They were switched off as they were deemed too costly to service.
