Signage on the M8 Western Freeway heading towards the M80 Metropolitan Ring Road in Melbourne.
Road signs in Australia are regulated by each state's government, but are standardised overall throughout the country. In 1999, the National Transport Commission, or NTC, created the first set of Rules of the Road for Australia.[1] Official road signs by standard must use the AS1744 series fonts, based on the US' Highway Gothic typeface.
Australia closely follows the United States when it comes to road sign designing practices (for example, using yellow diamonds for warning signs and green direction signs), but some types of road signs in Australia, such as road signs for speed limits, roadworks, "reduce speed" signs, and chevron arrow-styled direction signs are influenced by the usage in the United Kingdom.[citation needed]
