Tourist Drives dead?

I clicked on this story thinking it was something about a tourist driving a car while deceased.

Well if they’re going to officially number certain roads then Google is going to tell me to get onto those numbers, so yes I’d prefer they either maintain it or just get rid of it but stop confusing me! I’m easily confused.

Talking about Tourist Drives, I was driving the other day and saw a directional sign with a brown crest advising of OD then a number. Was this an old scenic or tourist drive identifier? I’ve tried looking it up but the only meaning I can find for OD is overdose.

Overdimension vehicles and loads.

Thanks. It was the sign going north on Morshead Dr just before Majura Rd where the trucks bypass the city.

I have also noticed this. It also seems that when I report damaged tourist drive route markers to TAMS, they take them down rather than replace them.

I have a list of the ACT Tourist Drives on my web site, with photos, and have been working on tourist drive number 7 of late. But have not concentrated on the attractions but infrastructure side of things. Each route does have a map that I have drawn up though.

I am sure I will get some flack over the site from others on the board here, but meh, it’s a hobby I enjoy and share with numerous Australians, Americans and Europeans.

You have successfully predicted the future. The word is “flak” and comes from the German word “flugzeugabwehrkanone”…

From the web-site:

Canberra Tracks is a network of heritage signage that incorporates six self-drive routes leading to many of Canberra’s historic sites.

Sounds awfully like a “Tourist Drive” to me, perhaps they’re in the process of being “converted”?

They were for the benefit of the despicable motorist. Can’t have that. Then again,I suppose bicyclists cold have used them too.
