“Railway crossing” signs have been erected during the past few days at various points in the Greymouth borough. One of them has appeared in Tarapuhi Street, and some comment has been caused by the fact that the sign has been placed in such a position that it cannot 'be seen by the drivers of vehicles approaching the railway crossing from Leonard Street, as it could have been were it placed a few yards nearer to the railway. Enquiries made elicited the information that, under the regulations, the warning sign must not be erected less than 100 yards from the railway crossing. If this regulation were not adhered to, and the sign placed nearer to the Railway, the Borough Council might be liable for damages if an accident occurred. To overcome the difficulty, another sign may he erected •in Leonard Street.
