Road Signs

Regulatory Signs

Conforming to AS4001. 1-2003 rear marker plates are retroreflective yellow with distinctive red areas and/or black text providing enhanced visibility, early recognition and identification of road vehicles over 12 tonnes GVM during day time and night time.

SIGN FUNCTION
Regulatory signs regulate the movement of traffic and indicate to road users that traffic laws or regulations apply. Failure to comply constitutes an offence. Regulatory signs should be effective in drawing the road user's attention to situations or locations where legal requirements apply that may not otherwise be apparent.

SIGN MATERIALS
Substrates: Regulatory signs are manufactured from 1.6mm aluminium, except parking series signs that may be manufactured from either 1.6mm aluminium or 1.2mm zinc/alum coated steel. 1.6mm aluminium is the preferred sign substrate due to its weight, quality and cost. Sign plates may be stiffened (railed) or unstiffened (non-railed) depending on the sign size.

Retroref/ective Sheetings: Three types of retroreflective sheetings are used for road traffic signs and related traffic control devices as specified in AS/NZS1906.1:2007.

Class 1 W sheetings have very high brightness and angularity properties and provide a long service durability. Commonly used for permanent and temporary signs, particularly in compromised sign locations, eg . overhead gantry or cantilever signs, sharp comers, black spots. Fluorescent sheetings are also available in this class and commonly used for pedestrian, children and school related signs enhancing the visibility and legibility of the sign.

Class 1 sheetings have high brightness and angularity properties and provide a long service durability. Often the most economical sheeting and commonly used for most permanent urban and rural highway signs.

Class 2 is a moderate performing sheeting used for side mounted signs close to the roadway under relatively dark ambient lighting conditions and with limited need for long distance viewing.

STORAGE & HANDLING
Storing signs: Signs should preferably be stored indoors and should be stored vertically in racks on their edge, face to face, and back to back. If signs must be stored outdoors, they must have their transport packaging removed, be stored vertically on their edges (preferably in a racking system) and, clear of the ground so as to permit free air circulation and normal moisture evaporation.

Warning Signs

Refer to us for your state signs.

SIGN FUNCTION
Warning signs are used to warn traffic of potentially hazardous conditions on, or adjacent to the road. Warning signs advise of conditions which require caution on the part of the driver, and may call for a reduction in speed in the interest of the driver's safety and that of other road users..

SIGN MATERIALS
Substrates: Warning signs are manufactured from 1.6mm aluminium, which is the preferred sign substrate due to its weight, quality and cost. Sign plates may be stiffened (railed) or unstiffened (non-railed) depending on the sign size.

Retroreflective Sheetings: Three types of retroreflective sheetings are used for road traffic signs and related traffic control devices as specified in ASINZSI906.1:2007.

Class 1 W sheetings have very high brightness and angularity properties and provide a long service durability. Commonly used for permanent and temporary signs, particularly in compromised sign locations, eg . overhead gantry or cantilever signs, sharp corners, black spots. Fluorescent sheetings are also available in this class and commonly used for pedestrian, children and school related signs enhancing the visibility and legibility of the sign.

Hazard Signs

Conforming to AS4001. 1-2003 rear marker plates are retroreflective yellow with distinctive red areas and/or black text providing enhanced visibility, early recognition and identification of road vehicles over 12 tonnes GVM during day time and night time.

SIGN FUNCTION
Hazard markers are used to emphasize to approaching traffic a marked change in the direction of travel and the presence and width of an obstruction. Hazard markers may be used to highlight the start of a channelising island, median or separator, and on the central island of a roundabout in order to direct traffic past or around such obstructions.
SIGN MATERIALS
SUbstrates: Hazard markers are manufactured from 1.6mm aluminium, which is the preferred sign substrate due to its weight, quality and cost. Sign plates may be stiffened (railed) or unstiffened (non-railed) depending on the sign size.

Street Name Signs

SIGN FUNCTION & PLACEMENT
Street name signs (G5 series) are located at intersections providing easy recognition of street names during day and night time conditions for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. The number and placement of street name signs depends on the configuration of the road and the intersection. They should be located as near as practicable to an intersection where they are easily visible and conspicuous.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Street name signs are available on a range of extrusions in 150mm and 200mm depths. The minimum sign depth should be 150mm where only the street name is displayed, or 200mm if an additional line of information is required (ie property numbers, local govemment area name.) The sign length should not exceed 1200mm when end-supported on a single post, or 1800mm when centre-supported on a single post.

The recommended colour combination for street name signs is black legend on a white background. Other colour combinations have been adopted but care must be taken to ensure the legend contrasts with the background colour in order to remain legible.

For viewing during day and night time conditions, street name signs should be made using retroreflective materials. Street name signs are generally installed above the optimum height for illumination by vehicle headlights, therefore, it is recommended that a Class 1 retroreflective material be used. Depending on the colour combination used, the lighter of the two colours should be reflectorised.

Additional information can be added to street name signs including property numbers, local government area names, or local govemment logos. To ensure the street name remains easily discernible from other information on the sign, property numbers and local government area names are displayed in a smaller size legend. Full colour logos provide easy local government area recognition and branding, and are displayed
at the support end of the sign.

Supplementary plates may be installed below the street name sign and include property numbers, indication and direction of a remote street (ie "TO STANDARD ST'J, or "NO THROUGH ROAD."
