Australian street signs are a delightful mix of practical design and bureaucratic whimsy, primarily following the Australian Standard AS 1742. They use clear symbols and colors to convey everything from parking restrictions to pedestrian crossings. The signs are mostly in English, with some bilingual signs in indigenous languages in certain areas. They conform to a metric system, naturally, so speed limits and distances are in kilometres and metres. If you’re a fan of deciphering the subtle differences between regulatory (red-bordered) and warning (yellow diamond) signs, Australia offers plenty of charm. For the nitty-gritty details, your best bet is to consult official state government transport websites or ServiceCentral for maintenance info.
