CAR NUMBER PLATES.
COLOUR COMBINATIONS. Tests to discover tlie best contrasting colour combinations in order to secure the maximum degree of legibility of registration number plates were carried out recently by the highways lisrhtin™ committee of the Road Safety Council. Reporting to the council in Wellington, the committee stated that after six colour combinations had been selected as giving good legibility, the manufacturers of the registration plates had been consulted as to which of these combinations caused minimum production difficulties. As a result the committee recommended that a cycle of four different colour combinations be established, thus covering a period of four years. The colours recommended were green figures on r. white ground, black on yellow, blue on white, and black on white.
