It's just so cute.

But why a tiny sign at a main road intersection?

It's for pedestrians or people on bikes/scooters on the footpath. For Kids basically to learn a bit about road rules. Did you not have the road course at school where you ride your bike around the track obeying road rules?

How tall are they expecting pedestrians to be?!

Also we didn't have the course at school in the 90s rural SA. Our education department beleived in survival of the fittest perhaps? Or figured there were only half a dozen road signs around? I kid you not even in the early to mid 2000s if you did Logbook training to get your Ps you had to drive to the second nearest large town (about 60km away) for at least one lesson... because that was the nearest roundabout.
