dimmed lights at Is miles per hour.
Pedestrians will be allowed on the
streets, but should watch for shell

reach the city. All traffic, except
official vehicles, must stop, and
pedestrians must get off the streets
Lights must remain out.

The next signal will again be the
blue indicating the immediate
danger has passed. Traffic will be
allowed to move and pedestrians
may again use The streets. But the
blackout will remain in effect.

on of street lights, will signal the
"all-clear."
