TRAFFIC SIGN ALTERATIONS

GOVERNMENT HOUSE

CHANGES

The attention of motorists is invited to the recent alterations in traffe signs outside Government House. In the past, difficulty has been experi- enced in securing the safety of cars leaving Government House, owing to the fact that there was no method of stopping or slowing down traffic proceeding along the main road.

"Dead Slow" signs have now been erected to cover the three approaches the to Government House, Le. on cast covering the approach by Upper Albert Road and the approach from Garden Road, and one on the wast covering the approach from Calne Road. These signs should ensure that all motorists passing Government House should proceed at a slow pace.

In addition, two

control lights have been installed to control both cast bound and west bound traffic: These-lights-will-normally be-unlighted, but which cars are not to emerge from Government Ilouse, on by the red lights will be switched on by the Military Guard, and all traffic should then stop, and not proceed past the red lights
