During the period (b) above all tights on vehicles must be extinguish- ed and the vehicle must pull into the side of the road. Tramcars must exhibit one red lamp in the front and one red lamp at the rear of the vehicle, so shielded as to throw no light above the horizontal. ·
The attention of drivers of vehleles its particularly drawn to the fact that it is necessary to obscuse rear and stop lights as well as all other lights. Normal lighting may be resumed as soon as the Raiders Passed signal has been sounded.
It will be obvious that driving un- der these severe lighting restrictions will demand the utmost care if ac- eldents are to be avoided. The safer plan is for motorists to refrain from using
their cars after sunset.
Soarchlight Experiments
The Director of Air Raid Precau- tions announces that on the night of the black-out, the Military Authorl- tles will be carrying out certain ex- periments with two searchlights over the harbour area. These experiments will commence Afteen minutes after the sounding of the Air Raid Warning algrial and will extend over a period | of half an hour.
