This website has four years of photos, copies of letters to and from My local MP, letters to and from the Road Minister's office Copies of unanswered emails.

Details of calls I have made to the then roads minister Melinda Pavey's Electoral office, and the Premier's office, all to no avail.

But as  JONES & CO says "DON"T GIVE UP"

All I wanted to do was that the RMS changed the way clearway signs are installed, before the new HI-VIS YELLOW signs are rolled out throughout NSW 

The bracket that The D.M.R,  then the R.T.A,and now the R.M.S still use to hold up clearway signs, didn't,  and don't work NOW.

 By an stretch of the imagination

can this be called erected

 "to Australian  Standards ??"

 I went into two shop in South Hurstville and asked when the new signs were put up.

They both said about two weeks ago.

One lady said I remember because someone came in and warned us about time changes.

 12 June 2019

This morning I had to go to Balmain from home in Kirrawee. 

On the way there and back I took the following photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                The two added little bolts didn't help to keep up the sign in the next photo horizontal.

I took this photo of these old white clearway signs on Rockey Point rd San Souci a couple of weeks ago.

 

  

I've just rung the Daily Telegraph and spoke to a very patient team member, and with her, scrolled down this site.

She agreed with me that the new  Hi- Vis yellow, and the old white clearway signs look untidy, and two bolts in the bracket would make sense.

She agreed with me that if I hung myself from a clearway sign, I would get publicity.  

There is 28lb hanging from this RMS clearway sign that I had taken down, (wearing a HI-Vis Vest)

I then  drilled an extra hole in this RMS bracket and re-installed it with two coach bolts wearing the afore mentioned vest, and there was also a large orange cone in close proximity, (also for safety reasons.)

I was kidding (about the hanging myself line ) the call was recorded "for training purposes"and can be checked for contex.

The Telegraph lady said she would pass my  clearway sign concerns on.

 I await a call from a reporter ................

This 3 year+ saga of mine ( 4 years now) to get a bit of sense in the installation of roadside clearway signs, has to be a news story.

Even just the fact that I interfere with RMS signs, (with photos) should be a story

 Here's me taking down a RMS clearway sign and reinstalled it using a bracket (prepared earlier) with two coach bolts

                                                                         and now the sign doesn't move with 28lb hanging of it

This sign was swinging in the breeze at Blakehurst  coming off the pole after the "NO STANDING ANYTIME"  was added. 

                                       The bottom coach bolt was finger tight, so I used longer bolts, and it will now stay put.
