Crazy sign. Well, crazed anyway. Driving along a quiet narrow country lane not far from home, I found this vintage sign still warning of a series of bends ahead.

Another custom intersection sign. It is not, however, an accurate representation of the intersection it applies to.

These two photos show another common conflict problem. Speed limits at odds with sharp curves and/or advisory speeds.
Both of these are at Maffra, Vic.

Just when I thought I'd seen it all. Along comes this non-standard intersection sign.
This one was far less representative of the intersection it applied to than the previous sign was.

The whole point of a warning sign is to warn. This one warns of Gravel Road just a bit too late. Maffra.

The sign on the right hand side of the road has been turned around for several years now. It is supposed to apply to the curve behind me.
Since it was turned around, a new VicRoads C route sign has been mounted on the same post facing the opposite direction.

This is a sign whose warning is not obvious. A Dip is usually a sudden drop in road level which may be dangerous if taken too fast. But this one warns of a slight depression which can hide approaching cars. A problem if overtaking.

Highway Ahead. Older text sign warning of a busier road ahead. I suspect these signs were used before it became common for virtually all intersections to have signs.

Poor signs really have to put up with a lot. They faithfully stand out in all weather. They get shot at. Hit by wayward motorists, vandalised, turned around, bent, scratched and pooped on (hopefully by birds). Not sure what has happened here. This one seems to have been pulled out of the ground. It is leaning on a tree beside the road.

Oddly, the signs here are both slightly different.

Speed Traps Ahead. Another example of an older sign surviving by being in a public reserve. The pictorial "bump" is used elsewhere now. If the mould keeps going, there'll soon be nothing left to read here.

Why aren't I surprised that the actual altered road has an ordinary cross road sign?

Another mouldy old sign. Barely readable. The stock crossing here was replaced by an underpass years ago. But the signs are still there. Drouin, Vic.
