Timeline of one new clearway sign

Someone wise once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

Once apon a time someone at the RMS decided that the white clearway signs that line major roads needed a new look, as they were looking a bit sad and down cast

"Let's make them a bright yellow so they really stand out". could have been what someone in a RMS think tank suggested.

Sure enough in August 2015 I noticed nice new Hi-Vis yellow clearway signs on the Princes Highway between Blakehurst and Sutherland, and wrote a letter to The Sutherland Shire Leader, our local paper.

Well I suppose having nice new shiny signs that all could see, is progress of sorts ....

But it wasn't long beforefor all to see, that the new signs started to look like the old white ones

Why do the new signs look that way ?

Simply because the bracket is fastened to the pole with one bolt, and gravity takes over.

Emails, phone calls, letters to the Roads Minister, have not really made a differance and from Kinsgrove to St Ives, there are Hi- Vis yellow signs at untidy unprofessional angles.

This one was the worst of many on Ryde rd Gordon
