Road Safety or Research are words
which ensures the turning of a page by
the average Police Officer. This Insti-
tute joins the ranks of the organizations
producing Reports and Papers on
transport matters.
Written in an interesting yet factual
manner, the latest work concerns the
debate on wl:ite versus yellow head-

Yellow light penetrates fog, say the
supporters - ah but losses occur due
to the colour of the filter, say the
yellow light opponents.
