Guide signs are used to inform and advise road users of directions, distances, destinations, routes, non-regulatory traffic instructions, the location of services for road users, and points of interest. 1
Regulatory signs are used to regulate the movement of traffic by indicating when or where a legal requirement applies, failure to comply with which constitutes an offence. For example, speed limits, prohibited or permitted movements at intersections and parking controls. 1
Warning Signs indicate unexpected or hazardous conditions on or adjacent to the road which may not be obvious to the approaching road user. 1
Most temporary signs are used at road and footpath works to warn road users about hazards that could pose a danger to them, workers, or machinery. They also help guide traffic safely through or around work sites and protect incomplete works from damage. Some signs in this group are used for other temporary hazards not related to road works. 1
