Understanding the colour codes for G9 signs

G9 guide signs come in a range of different colours, making them more recognisable in different situations, e.g. red signs highlight a sense of urgency. Below, we have provided a quick rundown of the different coloured signs available in our collection.

Red & white signs

Red signs with white symbols and messaging are highly recognisable for their urgency. For example, we offer red and white signs with messages like “WRONG WAY” and “REDUCE SPEED NOW” — these signs provide clear instructions, i.e. stop and go back, or significantly reduce your speed as road conditions change ahead.

Black & white signs

White signs with black messaging and symbols provide general information about conditions in the local area or changed road conditions ahead.

• Flood warning signs — We offer flood depth indicator signs as well as accompanying “ROAD SUBJECT TO FLOODING — INDICATORS SHOW DEPTH”, offering drivers crucial information in flood conditions.
  
  
• Road closure signs — Warn drivers of changing traffic conditions, e.g. “ROAD CLOSED” and “NO THROUGH ROAD”, to avoid traffic jams and accidents.
  
  
• Cyclist signs — Australian cities are teeming with cyclists, so it’s important to keep drivers aware of high-traffic areas for cyclists. We offer “WATCH FOR BICYCLES” and “BICYCLES CROSS HERE WITH CARE” signs to remind drivers to be wary of cyclists in the area.
  
  
• General road signs — Sometimes, the simplest reminders are the most important and effective. Our collection includes “LOOK FOR TRAINS” signs, overtaking lane signs with customisable kilometres, form one or two-lane signs, and more.

In areas with sharp turns and winding roads, high-visibility directional signs may also be required to keep drivers alert and on the road. In this case, we recommend our black and yellow chevron markers and signs, designed to keep drivers focused and aware of where they need to be on the road.
