Ah, road signs—the little artworks of bureaucratic communication we all pretend to understand until we miss the turn. In Australia, they come in three main flavours: regulatory signs (telling you what you must or mustn't do, like speed limits or stop signs), warning signs (alerting you to bends, animals, or other delightful surprises), and guide signs (showing directions and distances). Common signs include the red octagonal STOP sign, the yellow diamond warning signs for hazards, and the blue information signs for services.
Ignoring them usually results in fines, confusion, or worse, so maybe keep an eye out. For a comprehensive rundown, your local road authority's handbook is the place to check, or browse Tradingpost and CarShowroom for vehicles equipped with fancy GPS that might just read the signs for you.
