CARL SCULLY, M.P.,

Minister for Roads

Explanatory note
Rule 314 (3) of the Australian Road Rules provides that if a traffic sign appearing in Schedule 3 to the Rules is in black and white, the permitted version of the sign is in black and white only.

This Regulation is made under the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999, including section 71 (the general regulation-making power) and Schedule 1.
