Talking new sign on highway

a new sign you might see on the road, this one is on Bucketts Way Taree NSW


apparently it's not a authorised sign from RTA.

someone went to a sign shop and got it made up? Always wondered what would happen if someone got a legit looking speed limit sign and changed the speed limit back to 100/110 if it got decreased recently.

Nice! I love funny symbolic warning signs, some of them convey a really dynamic sense of movement. I saw this one in Zurich a few years ago:

Sign in England on a small creek crossing...perhaps not the best place to post a photo of it here though...



This is from out between Barcaldine and Longreach, taken when I was out there in October last year...guess you make your own fun out in the middle of nowhere...

Along the Hume going from Goulburn to Sydney there is Hanging Rock Road. The sign used to have a rock on a string dangling below it, but it has since been removed...

The Bucketts Way....if i remember correctly its either The Bucketts Way or some other Way that i went on that had an absolutley fantastically crap road surface....so that sign fits perfectly after it throws you off and make you lose control and boom goodbye....off the roadsides
