As a driving examiner, it is difficult to fail an otherwise capable driver because of unclear or confusing speed-limit signs. However, examiners must apply the road rules and assessment standards consistently—we cannot overlook a breach.
Clear, visible signage is essential for fairness and road safety. This issue deserves urgent review so good drivers are not unfairly caught out.
“There’s your sign!”
A small stretch of Anzac Highway in Glandore has had a 40km speed limit in place for more than a year, often with no workers on site.
Some drivers seem to ignore the signs, according to 891 ABC Adelaide's roving reporter Troy Sincock.
Black Forest caller Kathy told Sonya and Jules that her son Leo had failed his licence test for travelling through the zone at 60km.
“He’d done everything perfectly but failed to slow down for that short period on Anzac Highway and unfortunately failed his whole test,” she said.
“Every time we go past it, we say, ‘Leo, there’s your sign!'”
