The revision includes more than 250 new road signs used for regulating, warning and guiding road users. These signs provide clear and consistent messaging with the aim to support a reduction in the risk of crashes and road trauma. The standard also has information on the basic elements of signs, including shape, size, colour, lettering and symbols.

“AS 1742.1:2021 is a must-have document for all practitioners working in the road design and traffic engineering sector in Australia. It is a quick reference where practitioners can find out what signs are available for use and where to find information about them,” said Thuan Nguyen, Chair of MS-012, Road Signs and Traffic Signals.
