Some more pics from my visit to Parramatta last Saturday.
Here's the other end - Westmead terminus.
It is much more 'in the action' near places of interest and traffic generators.
Entering pedant mode:
I'm one who thinks that the standard way of painting signs on the roadway makes sense.
Second pic is a blow up of part of the pic referenced above.
I read signs like that in one glimpse, not a line at a time, so the order makes sense to me.
The Victorian road rules shows this form of sign (for Keep Clear).
A proposed harmonisation publication talks about different situations and says:
If possible, messages should be confined to one line. The following conditions need to be satisfied if the message requires two lines:
• Where the 85th percentile speed is greater than 80 km/h, a separation of four times the character height should be used, with the message arranged to be read sequentially, i.e. the first word is nearest to the driver.
• At lower speeds, the separation line between the text should be one-half to one times the character height, with the message arranged to read from top to bottom.
