New sign on the Tuggeranong Parkway (nth bound b4 woden)

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. More popular, certainly more successful than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling than Fifty-Three More Things to do in Zero Gravity, and more controversial than Oolon Colluphid’s trilogy of philosophical blockbusters Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes and Who is this God Person Anyway?

It would be more useful if they took a feed from @Traffic_Canberra’s twitter account.

Why not cut out the middle man and just use the @ACTPol_Traffic feed instead?

Better yet, have it display any tweet with a #bigsignontheparkway hashtag. We could call it a public art installation.

All those big cities have them so we have to have them too…

Why spend 2.4m of our taxes (when the budget is already very tight) on building an electronic sign that is most likely only going to repeat the messages that are already available on fixed signage?

There’s a pearler on Ginninderra Drive: “PEOPLE DIE ON ACT ROADS”. I’ve often wondered what that message is trying to achieve.

I agree with your point though, it would have been far cheaper to erect a billboard that says “accident/heavy traffic, expect delays” – which is what these electronic signs will be bleating most of the time.

Speaking of signs on the parkway, the skiing kangaroo sign is in need of repair. His skis are coming off, and someone has put a white and black sticker on the bottom of the sign.

When did Kambah become God’s Country??

What do you mean by “When”? If you’ve got to ask, it’s probably not for you.

Someones playing silly buggers!

The problem was they needed these signs when the majority of the Glenloch interchange work was going on. Maybe variable speed limit signs although i doubt it, they don’t look like theones used in sydney. Probably event information only for things like car parking and access.

We really need faster or variable speed limit signs on the parkway. I’m sick of hearing from the ultra conservative about people speeding on the road. It really is good enough for a 110 limit. And the 3 accidents i’ve seen and one I was in, generally involved slow moving traffic changing lanes or merging. Once a person came to a complete halt on an entrance way onto the 100km/h parkway.
Caused a 4 car accident and I bet the person who stopped copped none of the blame.

This sign not in use! As dumb as it sounds driving through the UK recently I saw many signs like this showing these very words. Not sure what their point was.

I would have gone with “This sign intentionally left blank.”

Which gods do you suppose they’re talking about?

I prefer the Zombies ahead sign that hackers put up a few years ago.

Just our Gvmt showing again an unrivalled ability to squander our money. So what’s new?

They were mentioned in the budget.

$2.4 million over three years has also been provided for variable message signs.

There’s also one on Gungahlin Drive southbound just past Sandford St.

“roadwork ahead, use alternate route”

At least it’s better than “You’re an idiot”.

It could also be one of the mounting points for those new point to point speed cameras they (ACT GOV) have been promising.
