Just drove Sydney-Melbourne-Sydney...but had to chuckle at one of the VicRoads " your end-is nigh if you go faster that the speed we placard as safe " signs on the Hume.

It read: "Slowing down won't kill you"

Actually, that's *exactly* -with extreme deceleration- what does kill you. ;)

I'll go one better, Peter. On Athlon Drive, here, in Canberra, there's a sign that just says, "PEOPLE DIE ON ACT ROADS". LOL!

I like Texas Freeway signs that say "Drive Friendly".

They also have minimum speed limits on Freeways.

SA seem to have a few rippers. Politically correct I suppose.

There are signs in Tasmania that say "It's a limit not a challange".

Well, they could always enforced speed limits like this: see image below

Humm, looking at the traffic/road/hazards rather than speedo sounds like a better challenge to me



Self-appointed pace cars in the right lane??



Flow control? Great concept!



Clearly, nowhere else to pass (on).... sorry a bit crass.

There have been some awful crashes (mainly involving trucks...on the wrong "adjective-needed-here-starting-with-f " side of the road) in NSW very recently.

Sadly, a bureaucraticlly imposed speed sign wasn't even close to addressing the tragedies that resulted....

Just one more......for the road :D

There is a road out from Perenjori (northern wheatbelt, WA) just like this; it is called five ways.

Ok, unless you drunk! :lol:
