NUMBER PLATES.
rOTTR-COLOUB CYCLE. To discover the best contrasting colour combinations in order to obtain the maximum degree of legibility of registxation number plates, tests weie carried out by the Highways Lighting Committee of the New Zealand Road Safety Council. Reporting to the council, the committee stated that after six colour combinations had been selected as giving good legibility, the manufacturers of the registration plates W9re consulted as to which, of these combinations caused 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 a white background, black on yellow, blue on white, and black cm white.
