Reflective road stud for traffic control brought back from England by Mr G. N. T. Goldie, formerly assistant chief traffic inspector at Wellington and now concentrating, on town-planning. A pair of “cat’s-eye” reflectors utilise the light from the headlamps of passing vehicles, producing an almost continuous line, and being very useful on unlighted highways, particularly at bends. The “cat's-eyes” are bedded in rubber, and if a vehicle passes over the stud the eyes disappear into the cast-iron container and are wiped clean. The portion below the doited line is buried in the ground.
