Majo-kit
Majokit is a toy developed by the Majorette company of France, and is a complete traffic environment designed to stimulate children's imagination and sense of observation.
Majokit is made from plastic moulded materials, and highly detailed. The separate pieces snap together to form scale size cities for Majorette toy cars, or other model cars. Children are introduced to rules of the road by laying out and obeying traffic signs, and learn to navigate streets with road issues, roundabouts, traffic lights, and of course stop signs.
Many separate kits were released, but each kit could fit together to make larger kits.
The kits are confirmed to have been sold in France, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Costa Rica and the United States.
It can also be confirmed that they were sold in the UK (toyshops and in wholesalers), Australia, New Zealand, Finland and Malta.
