All chicanes must be noted in the road book and must be in place during reconnaissance. Chicanes should be made from: • Straw bales • Water tanks • Wall of connected tyres • Concrete barriers During the race, a car may hit a part of or the entire chicane and leave some obstacles in the middle of the road for the next competitor. In such a case, a marshal should stand at this place, in order to “clean” the area or at least show the yellow flag, if necessary.

All access roads should be indicated with special signs and extra information. The FIA recommends following the advice of a local very experienced driver or co-driver going through the stages in advance, identifying the danger spots. 4. All pre-planned access roads should be announced in the official programme, in special informative leaflets and on the website. Simple road book signs should be included to guide all spectators from main roads In identifying these locations it is then necessary to identify the special needs of the safety plan to provide for towards the proper parking areas and the designated spectators’ zones. these. 5.

place with the best possible view of the rally cars. It is advisable that this point be located close to escape routes or in the vicinity of particularly dangerous spots. Radio Point Marshals: - They are responsible for their sector. - They are in position well before spectators arrive and they prevent them from entering forbidden areas. They check communication with the safety officers of the special stage and Rally headquarters. - In a polite manner they inform spectators that the special stage will be run only if they follow their instructions to stand in the recommended areas. - They inform their stage commander about the number of spectators and decide if more support personnel are needed. - Once all safety precautions have been met and everybody is in position, they inform Rally HQ accordingly. - During the running of the stage, they stay next to their radio and follow the announcement of each car starting the special stage. They record cars passing in front of them. If a car is missing, they immediately inform the safety officer of the stage and wait for instructions. - They co-operate with the safety marshals positioned before and after them to alert spectators to approaching rally cars by means of whistles. - They will display the yellow flag only on the instructions of the clerk of the course. - They check that there are no cars parked next to the road in a special stage and, if there are, they remove them before the stage starts. Yellow Flag Procedure Should the use of yellow flags be required, the following procedure is to be adopted: a. A yellow flag must be available at each stage radio point (situated at intervals of approximately 5 km). b. The yellow flag will be displayed to crews only on the instructions of the clerk of the course and only at the radio points. c. The flags may only be displayed by a marshal wearing a distinctive jacket as recommended in 5.2.6 of Appendix H, and on which is marked the radio point symbol. The time of deployment of the flag will be recorded and notified to the stewards by the clerk of the course. d. During reconnaissance, a sign bearing the symbol specified in 5.5.4.4 of Appendix H must be displayed at the location of each radio point. This sign may be smaller but must be clearly visible to crews performing reconnaissance in order that the location may be noted in their pace notes. e. On passing a displayed yellow flag, the driver must immediately reduce speed, maintain this reduced speed until the end of the special stage, and follow the instructions of any marshals or safety car drivers he encounters. Flags will be displayed at all radio points preceding the incident. Failure to comply with this rule will entail a penalty at the discretion of the stewards. f. No flag other than the yellow flag may be deployed in a special stage. g. Different signalling systems (e.g. flashing lights) may be used in super special stages. Full details must be included in the Supplementary Regulations.
