I recieved this email  yesterday replying to my "recent emails" following my "original" email in April this year 2018

This is a more "original"  email about the clearway signs subject to a Roads Minister and was  sent on  30 March 2016

Dear Minister Gay, 

I recently  saw you on TV and you mentioned the new clearway times and the new signage between Blakehurst and Sutherland. The new clearway times have made a difference to traffic flow, but why are the sigs n in  Hi Vis  yellow, and why the need to attach them above existing ?no standing or no stopping signs?? 

 No stopping or no standing, means no stopping or no standing anytime. 

These bright yellow clearway signs I?m afraid  are an eyesore, and to make matters worse the majority are now adopting jaunty angles. The signs are attached to a bracket with 2 bolts but the bracket is fastened to the power pole or its own metal pole with one bolt, so if the sign isn?t tightened  correctly, it can  pivot on the single bolt as can be seen in my photos.

There are  old white clearway  I?ve seen, also at angles,  and also  fastened  with one bolt. A rethink in the fastening dept could be warranted. 

What is wrong with a Tech screw, top and bottom of the sign, fastened using an  18 volt impact screw driver.

  In the big scheme of things this is small potatoes,   but 5 klms of  these gaudy bright yellow (near new) clearway signs at crazy angles advertise  in Hi Vis, RMS incompetence.  

Please get someone from the relevant department  to have a look and get the job done right.

Regards 

Hans Stephens

 That email was sent on 30/3/2016    (  excuse the errant ??? marks it's an IT  problem.)

I also sent photos of new clearway signs at bad angles

 MP Gay retired and we have a new Roads Minister

I highlighted  that line in yellow in my email to Minister Gay because I had the same thought when I wrote a stamped letter to the new Roads Minister Melinda Pavey

 I wrote this letter to Minister Pavey on May 10 2017

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 don'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 one of the old white clearway signs on Roberts Road Greenacre
