Road Photos & Information: Road Signs
Custom Signs: Warning Signs

This section features photos of specially made signs that normally would not appear in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Devices used by various road agencies and councils around Australia. Custom designs are usually done when road conditions are non-standard and need something specific to the situation.

This page concentrates on non-standard warning signs.
