SA roadside signs

Val,

The signs are reminding drivers not to slowly creep over the posted speed limit.

Hi Val

Welcome back, I bet you and John had a trip away over in the West and looking out for you usual great Blogs and pictures.

It is a wonder that you did not notice any other of the signs that have been erected by the MAC (Motor Accident Commission) along the lines of.......... Don't Drive Like A..........

WANKER....a large "W" in front of a boat Anchor

COCK.....a picture of a Rooster

KNOB....a picture of a door knob


Speak with you soon



Cheers

There are also the signs such as the don't drive like W + picture of an anchor. Or the one don't drive like a picture of a door knob? I wonder if wankers and knobs actually realize they are wankers and knobs? I think the Vics have a better idea actually giving instructions like keeping an appropriate space between cars. The SA signs are the quirkiest I've come across.

J&V I have lived in SA all my life.
I have noticed the Creeping signs and the TV add in SA. However, until I read the reply to your post I had no clue as to what the reference to "creeping" was about. I thought it meant move about quietly.
Perhaps the number of road signs are a bit over the top. I also find that to have time to absorb some of the data on some of the signs I would have to STOP to be able to read them.

When we did our trip out to lake Eyre from W.A we saw the signs and thought they were great, and in some instance a timely reminder to watch our speed, and then some one would overtake us,and I would think that this campaign is not working too well, the other thing we noticed was the crosses on the side of the road that indicated motor vehicle accidents that had left people dead or injured, on straight stretches of highway, and it left us reflecting on the driving habits of some people, and the pain that was left behind for the relatives and loved ones that they no longer have that person in their lives, I don't know about anyone else but the campaign made us stop and think.

Visitors to the national capital might have seen their "Drink, Drive, Die in a Ditch" and “Drive N Text U B Next" (weird) signs.

The one I'd like to see: "Get off the phone, we want to make it home".

I love the dip signs on the Oodnadatta Track that someone has obviously spent a lot of time modifying.

Skinny Dip
Cheese Dip
Onion Dip
Big Dipper

etc etc

Hi J & V,

NT has the best, these are on the back road from Kings Canyon to Alice. Must admit I had no problems understanding them. The second sign was very unexpected.




And around the bend, was



There are some great signs in this country. Some are abstract.

Now remember, stop creeping!

cheers

I thought creeping meant to drive quietly so as not to disturb the feral cats from killing the wildlife. We have to be fair on the ferals, bugger the wildlife. Seen cats kill eagles at road kill.

I love signs and sometimes question the mentality of the people who put them there. In Sydney, on the M5 tollway, there is a large portable sign ( trailer type ) flashing the words " DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. AVOID ACCIDENTS"

Is it only me, or does that seem a bit wrong?
