 NB  This post was first on this site on October 20 2017.

In May of that year I wrote to the minister and recieved a reply (on behalf of) in October

In May this year I sent the below letter in a stamped envelope to the Roads Minister.

I was told by her Kempsey office that it was received

.........................................................................................................................................................................................

Dear Minister Pavey,

I'm very sorry to bother you as this letter should not have been necessary, but as other options don't seem to have made a satisfactory  difference, I'll try again.

 The RMS is renewing the old white clearway signs on major roads with new HI- Vis yellow ones, but the old brackets used to hold up the white ones didn't work, and they don't work on the new ones either.

My website  www.schoolzonesanta.com has many photos showing examples and explaining the problem.

Something has to be done before the new yellow signs are rolled out across NSW

 Please spend a couple of minutes to have a look at my site, or if too busy, delegate someone with a bit of common sense, and who can get something done, to fix this very simple problem.

 These are two examples of the old white clearway signs on Roberts Road Greenacre

..................................................................................................

NB   Update on this page which first posted Ocober 2017 

The two old sad examples of white clearway signs have  also been replaced, and this is how they look now

..............................................................................................

 And the two above, were less than a year old, and were on display advertising RMS incompetence in  Hi-Vis yellow, on the Princes Highway Gymea.

 Many more examples on www.schoolzonesanta.com

 Thank you for your time.

 Yours faithfully,

  Hans Stephens

That letter was sent in May 

Today September 20 I received this email

............................................................................................................................

 The RMS  " is working with its maintenance provider DM roads to fix clearway signage"

So if I see the result of other incompentent installation of clearway signs I ring in, and Harry will get them fixed. 

I think maybe the signs should be put up properly in the first place.

I can't always get to Dubbo, the Blue Mountains, or other locations in NSW to check and report on shoddy RMS contractor's work. 

So will the new yellow ones  (unless I get out and about more) end up looking like the white ones?

 I did ring "Harry" on the number provided but the line didn't work for me 

...................................................................................

The 2-3 year old Hi-Vis yellow clearway signs between Sutherland and Blakehurst are starting to droop again.

The photo below I took today 22 Oct  017 and there are scores more on the way down.

I think the problem is gravity!!!!!!!

A post I wrote when new signs went up in Ryde and Gordon

and this post was November 2015

As I said clearway signs put up less than two years ago  should not need to be " fixed." 

I ask the question who pays?
