An ingenious device to indicate to motorists at night the position of pedestrian ciossings is being given a trial by the Auckland City Council oh the crossing in Karangahape road, midway between Queen street and Pitt street. The device is a raised rubber cushion having a, pair of glass reflector eyes set in each’end. The reflection of the headlight beams in the eyes enables drivers Io locate the crossing from a distance. A special feature is that a wheel passing over the cushion depresses the eyes, brushing them against a rubber face which cleans the glass surface and thus keeps them bright.
