Description
Vic Stock Crossing sign kit for VicRoads, comprises 2 x W5-38 stock signs 750mm, 2 x W8-22 crossing ahead signs 750×500 and 2 x R1-V1 hinged stop signs 750mm. All the signs have stiffening braces on the rear. VicRoads have advised all Farmers, Drovers and Station owners that these new Traffic safety signs must be used at low use Stock Crossings (less than 2500 vehicles a day). Read from their site here: Manual for traffic control for stock crossing. There is also some information on the type of signs needed HERE. This PDF file also explains the layout needed for installation.
These signs are as follows:
Also, You’re required to have a vehicle at the crossing with an amber flashing light on top. This light must be bright and easily seen from a distance. Equally important here, you must supply flood lights if crossing at night. Given that these signs must comply with Australian and Victorian Road regulations, only purchase these through a reputable traffic sign dealer. In particular, the signs must be Class 1 reflective aluminium and be braced on the rear.
Buying the Complete Crossing kit means you should save money compared to buying individually. Also, the sign kit includes the flashing warning light for vehicles.
