Signal & sign meanings

Lane Signs

We use freeway management systems that allows us to change speed limits, close lanes and provide travel information in response to what’s happening on the road.

Sometimes we need to lower speed limits or close lanes to ensure the safety of motorists, response teams or our road workers.

For the safety of everyone, it’s important to adhere to the posted speed limit and not drive in closed lanes. It is also a legal requirement to do so.
