i. Hazard Signs.
Hazard signs indicate traffic hazards, such as dangerous corners,
steep hills, and crossroads. Military hazard signs will rarely be used in
the communications zone (COMMZ) as the civilian signs will usually suffice.
In the combat zone, however, military hazard signs will be used when needed.
Hazard signs are yellow, diamond-shaped signs.
The information on hazard
signs is printed in black.
j. Blackout Signs.
Blackout warning signs are based on the Geneva Convention hazard
warning signs.
The legend and any distance indications are mounted on
rectangular plaques beneath the warning sign.
Blackout enforcement signs
consist of the Geneva Convention prohibitory sign with the words VEHICLE
LIGHTS FORBIDDEN on a plague affixed below the prohibitory sign. Blackout
relaxation signs indicates an end to the blackout condition. The legend is
mounted and plaques directly below a warning sign.
k. Temporary Signs.
Temporary signs are a great aid to military police in fulfilling
their BCC mission. Regardless of the specific BCC mission, all MP should be
prepared to make maximum use of them.
