The very first standardised road signs in Australia used yellow circular signs as regulatory signs, a feature now preserved in "pedestrian crossing" and "safety zone" signs.[2]
The year of 1974 saw important changes in Australia's road sign design practices. A major change expressed Australia's preference for a transition to adoption of symbols on signs in lieu of words, inspired by the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, and transition to adoption of kilometres and metres in lieu of miles and yards.[5][6] This change aligned with Australia's large-scale adoption of the metric system. Australian speed limit signs with red circle as a legend were placed in numbers greater than the numbers on those containing the legend "SPEED LIMIT".[5] Speedometers on Australian vehicles were not required but encouraged to alter or replace the speedometer part so that it is shown in kilometres per hour.[5] Except for bridge-clearance and flood-depth signs, dual marking was not used.
To avoid confusion as to whether the distance indicated was in miles or kilometres new major distance signs had affixed to them a temporary yellow plate showing the symbol km.[5] On the many new kilometre signs on minor roads, a yellow plate which showed the corresponding number of miles was affixed under the now permanent kilometre distance indication. These temporary plates were removed between 1975 and 1976.
Regulatory signs inform drivers of traffic laws and banned actions. Road users must obey all instructions on prohibitory signs or risk getting a fine and points deducted from their licence.[7] Local councils may have local restrictions relating to parking times, which would be shown on or near the sign.

(MR-WSP-18) Reduce Speed Now, Traffic Signals Ahead (used in
Western Australia)
Guide and information signs give directions and information for scenic tourist routes and destinations such as rest stops and fuel stations. They also provide additional traffic information to guide driving.
Hazard markers indicate the direction to take when approaching the obstacle or driving past the hazard. Drivers must obey these signs.
Roadwork signs to keep you informed of changing conditions and to keep road workers safe. These signs closely follow United Kingdom design.
Please note that some plates have reduced due to the changing to alphanumeric plates in several states. Queensland has been partially alphanumeric, replacing all but around one metroad (because it is not applicable as M) with M roads, while New South Wales also had metroads but they were all replaced with straight alphanumeric plates along with national roads. Victoria is alphanumeric but partially numeric in the metropolitan area of Melbourne.
The traffic lights for special vehicles have a letter on it. The GO light is white instead of green.
