Signal flags on beaches
Red over yellow flags are used on partolled beaches in New Zealand and other countries such as Australia and Hong Kong. In New Zealand, the
usual situation is that when lifeguards are in attendance the
beachside building they use as their office/HQ flies the flag of that
particular club (usually a logo, and often sponsored). Two red and
yellow flags will be placed on temporary poles hammered into the sand
of the beach at either end of the patrolled area, and the public are
advised to "Swim between the flags".
