Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 1st June, 1925.

Dargaville Bridge.—Lighting and Flag Systems for Controlling the Passage of Vessels through Bridge-passage.

INFORMATION is hereby given that the undermentioned lighting and flag systems will be established at the northern and southern entrances to the lifting bridge-span passage of the recently constructed bridge which crosses the Northern Wairoa River at about three-quarters of a mile above Dargaville, and will come into operation during June, 1925, after the lifting bridge-span has been completed.

2. Lighting System.—Between sunset and sunrise the undermentioned fixed lights, so screened and placed that they can be seen only on their respective sides of the bridge-passage, will be exhibited at a height of 18 ft. above M.H.W.S.

At each side of the northern entrance—one green light.

At each side of the southern entrance—one red light.

3. Signal to denote the Bridge-span is about to be lifted.—About thirty minutes prior to the time at which it is intended the bridge-span shall be lifted, a fixed white light will be exhibited at a position 3 ft. above each of the green lights at the northern entrance, and at a position 3 ft. above each of the red lights at the southern entrance. These four white lights will be removed immediately the vessel for which they were intended has passed through the bridge and the span has been lowered down.

4. Signal to denote the Bridge-span has been lifted and that the Passage through the Bridge in one Direction may be undertaken.—A white light will be waved from either corner of the entrance at that side of the bridge on which the vessel is approaching.

5. Flag System: Between Sunrise and Sunset.—When the bridge-span has been lifted and the bridge-passage is clear for navigation, a white flag will be waved to denote that passage through the bridge in one direction may be undertaken by a vessel approaching that side of the bridge from which the flag has been waved.

6. Vessels which are unable to use the bridge-passage without the bridge-span being lifted must not attempt to enter the bridge-passage unless the white light (by night) or the white flag (by day) is waved at that side on which they are approaching the bridge.

7. Vessels which are able to use the bridge-passage without the bridge-span being lifted are permitted to do so when the bridge-span is down; but such vessels, unless they are signalled to do so, shall not use the bridge-passage when the bridge-span has been lifted for the purpose of enabling another vessel to pass through.

8. “ Blocking ” Signal.—If on any occasion it is desired to stop all traffic through the bridge-passage, a red flag will be shown by day, or by night one each of the red and green lights will be removed, upon which any vessel shall not attempt to pass through the bridge-passage.

9. Owing to the restricted width of the bridge-passage great care must be exercised by vessels when passing through the bridge.
