User:Cassowary/road signs in Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Road Signs in Australia are regulated by state governments but largely standardised throughout the country by Australian standard AS1743. Since 1999, differences in new signs are almost entirely limited to typographical or linguistic variation. Australian road signs show considerable similarity to American road signs, but because there are no international agreements, there is less similarity than between European countries.
This article describes the current Australian road signs. many pre-1999 state-specific signs still exist but can easily be understood due to the similar iconography and/or words. Note that traffic in Australia drives on the left.
