Yeah I'm wearing my glasses now
One of the ones that confused me was out the back of where I live, towards the airport. I think perhaps at one time it was a 100kph; now it is 80kph. Nevertheless, as you cruise along at 80, there is (or was the last time I was there 6 months ago) a `recommended speed' sign for a corner... of 85kph

I'm sorry I didn't look you up when in Alex at Xmas.

BogOff-Cant you see I'm busy?
The 95kph corner warnings are quite pointless, but I do generally like the corner ones as a rough (+20kph) guide.
Forum whore
weve got signs like that here too. its a 4 sided intersection controlled by 2x stop signs and joining on to a main rd which has right of way.
leading up to the first stop sign its 50k. less than 200 mtrs from the stop is a sign telling you its now 80k for the main rd. if you are going straight through towards the airport, it tells you its 50k on the other side of the intersection. for some reason, there always accidents at that spot... silly cagers not looking or obeying rules.

I agree. However the rules are pretty simple for this. The rated speed is purely to due with the number of G's you pull while cornering. They have to set the speed so that the G-force you experience stays below a certain level.
In this case, they probably didn't engineer the corner well enough to maintain the 100km/h rating.
Rest In Peace
For the tourist campervan drivers lol.
It's a recomended speed for all vehicles including heavy vehicles with trailers,although 40tonne rigs go 90km eh so kinda blows the max indicated safe speed out the window.

85kph signs let you know that the corner you can't see around is one you don't have to slow down for.

Napier too ...
There is one just like this in Napier ... coming up to a main road, but there is actually a 50km sign, then less then 100m away a 100km sign, then a corner, then about 50m away a STOP ... we were in a car, but we didn't know the road very well ... we came up to the stop, and I'm freakin sure we did actually stop ... no cars coming for miles, so we pulled out ... dirty pig must have been 2-300m away (couldn't have even really seen whether or not we did stop, revenue grubbing B%$#^(d) pulled us over for not stopping at a stop sign ... wanker! $150 fine.
I had photo's on my phone as we were going to write in about it, but just recently deleted them as they were pissing me off every time I saw them!!

parting of the sensory
You really have to be alert driving around South Australia - they just love changing the speed limit every km or so: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 areas all interspersed with one another. If you're pulling out from a side road onto a highway or major through road, you have no idea what the speed limit is.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
The instructions are simple...
So where is it exactly? I've been trying to picture without success
Hamilton Bypass, anyone?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

The 50km sign is about 100m behind where that pic is standing from ...

But you can see the 100km sign, then the stop signs just after ... I was wrong, the corner is also just behind, which is BEFORE the 100km signs.
