Road signs in Australia are regulated by each state's government, but are standardized overall throughout the country. In 1999, the National Transport Commission, or NTC, created the first set of Rules of the Road for Australia.[1] By regulation all signs must use the Highway Gothic typeface.
Regulatory signs
[2] Regulatory signs inform drivers of traffic laws and regulations. Road users must obey all instructions on regulatory signs or risk getting a fine and points deducted from their licence. Local councils may have local restrictions relating to parking times, which would be shown on or near the sign.
