RAILWAY WARNINGS
GREEN LIGHT UNSATISFACTORY. (Per Press Association) Hamilton, April 18. That a green, flag or light as a warning to motorists not to cross the railway is unsatisfactory, was the opinion expressed by Magistrate Wilson to-day. On a recent evening a woman driver, Miss Grace Clark, seeing a green light at a level crossing, thought that the road was clear, ;and drove ahead and crashed into the train. The Magistrate remarked that green was regarded as a ’f safety colour. In any case such signals are unsatisfactory, as many people are colourblind. Electric flicker signals were a better warning. The defendant was fined 10s.
