About this service

This sign register covers the standard signs used in NSW for regulating, warning, informing, and guiding road users. It specifies the sign classification, numbering, shape, and colour of each sign. Detailed design plans are also included for most signs. Some signs, such as the G Series, do not provide detailed designs as they are site specific. Refer to Australian Standard 1743, 1744 and 1742.2, and 1742.15 for further information.
