Probable levels of contrast in both silhouette and reverse silhouette of objects on road as seen by drivers are calculated; these are assessed in terms of necessary values of object reflection factor so that contrast would be high enough for driver's attention to be drawn to object; conditions studied are those likely on suburban traffic route with fixed lighting to standard of current Australian code of practice for street lighting; account is taken of probable range of values of road pavement luminance, of object illumination due to fixed lighting and headlights, and of disability glare due to street lights and lights of stream of oncoming vehicles.
