“The light of your life is Green – heed it!” is the message of the “Jaycee” Road Toll Indicator now installed at Petrie Bight, Brisbane.
This indicator which shows the total of road fatalities since 1st. January and the number of days since the last fatality in the city of Brisbane, is a Monument to the community service of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Messrs. Ampol Petroleum Pty. Ltd. and Messrs T. Tristam.
A GREEN light shows during the fatality free periods, but this is changed to RED when a fatality occurs during the previous 24 hours.
On Friday afternoon, 18th. June, the GREEN light was “turned on” showing 26 deaths during the past 23 weeks, and four days since a fatality. By Saturday night, its face was RED with two more fatalities.
For whom this indicator tolls, the people of Brisbane should become very colour conscious. RED
