Prohibition Signs

Prohibition signs in the ACT, like in the other states and territories, are a crucial part of traffic and safety regulations. They are designed to convey specific messages about actions or behaviours that are prohibited in a certain area or under certain circumstances. These signs play a vital role in maintaining order, ensuring safety, and preventing accidents.

In Australia, prohibition signs typically follow international standards set by the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. They use universally recognised symbols and colours to convey their messages. These signs typically have a white background, with black text and a red circle with a diagonal line over a black pictogram depicting the prohibited action. Prohibition signs are used to clearly outline actions that are “not permitted” on the construction site. These might be across the whole construction site, such as “No Smoking Permitted on Site”, to area-specific requirements, such as “Alcohol Not Permitted On This Site“.

The Australian Standard 1319-1994 specifies that you must use Prohibition Signs should be used to indicate that an action or activity is not permitted. It is vital for drivers and pedestrians to always pay attention to these signs while driving or moving around in Australia to ensure your safety and comply with traffic regulations. Additionally, local and state-specific regulations may introduce additional or modified signs, so it’s essential to be familiar with the specific signs in the area you are visiting.

Some “No Smoking” signs are also specific to the State or Territory you are operating within, such as the sign in the image above, which is specifically used in the ACT. These signs often have strict policies where penalties may apply.
