A large rect. sign, same size and shape as a Freeway 100 kph sign [both made
by DeNeefe at Eltham]
predominantly white , reflectorised, with a large black circle filled with
an X (X)
and most gangers have not got a clue what they mean or where to place them!
The new crossing between Donnybrook and Craigeburn has them facing the wrong
way on the UP and too far away from the crossing. The equipment is able to
save the information each time the crossing is activated and could be used
to save or sink a driver, if a crossing incident occurred.
