Question about the one decreasing radii turn you spoke abput. What kind of warning signs do they have up there? We have one warning sign here in the states that shows a big curve with a rider being thrown off his motorcycle. Sounds like they need one of those there from your description of the debris

If you zoom the photo you will see two types of road sign.

The red one says REDUCE SPEED. Fairly self-explanatory. The yellow 45 with a direction arrow gives you the direction of the turn and the maximum recommended speed, kph in dry conditions, for that bend. It is a recommended speed only and is always below the enforceable speed limit for that piece of road. In this case, Lemmings, after you exit the 45 a 25 sign appears. If you are in boy racer mode and not on your game it can drain your talent bank. As far as the advisory speed signs (yellow) are concerned a very competent road racer on the right bike can double the advisory speed. I normally tootle round at about 1.5 times advisory speed or even a little less unless it's a good visibility sweeper where I might become a little more ambitious. If I don't know the road I will be more conservative. At Lemming I am cautious as I don't want to be known as another idiot who didn't learn from history.

Otherwise, there are other warning signs and some are motorcycle specific. Signs may vary between states. Maybe we can assign a project to Cormanus: Road Signs in Australia (early 21st century), interpretation and effectiveness. Smile

Cheers
