Regulatory road signs in Australia

Regulatory road signs tell you something you can’t do (e.g. no left turn), a specific restriction (e.g. a speed limit), something you can do (e.g. a u-turn is permitted but not compulsory), or something you must do (e.g. give way). Following is a non-exhaustive sampling of Australia’s regulatory signs from across the country.

Speed restrictions

Speed restriction signs indicate a maximum speed limit on that road either as a blanket limit or within time restrictions.
