Road signs in Australia

Road signs in Australia are regulated by each state's government, but are standardised overall throughout the country. In 1999, the National Transport Commission (NTC), created the first set of Rules of the Road for Australia.^[1] Australian road signs use the AS 1744:2015 fonts, which is the 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]}
