Figure 1. VicRoads' Ten Point Road Safety Checklist <br />An advertisement, or any structure, device or hoarding for the exhibition of <br />an advertisement, is considered to be a road safety hazard if it: <br />1, obstructs a driver's line of sight at an intersection, curve or <br /> point of egress from an adjacent property; or <br />2. obstructs a driver's view of a traffic control device, or is <br /> likely to create a confusing or dominating background which <br /> might reduce the clarity or effectiveness of a traffic control <br /> device; or <br />3. could dazzle or distract drivers due to its size, design or <br /> colouring, or it being illuminated, reflective, animated or <br /> flashing; or <br />4. is at a location where particular concentration is required <br /> (eg. high pedestrian volume intersection); or <br />5. is likely to be mistaken for a traffic control device, for <br /> example, because it contains red, green or yellow lighting, or <br /> has red circles, octagons, crosses or triangles, or arrows; or <br />6. requires close study from a moving or stationary vehicle in a <br /> location where the vehicle would be unprotected from <br /> passing traffic; or <br />7. invites drivers to turn where there is fast moving traffic or <br /> the sign is so close to the turning point that there is no time <br /> to signal and tum safely; or <br />8. is within 100 metres of a rural railway crossing; or <br />9. has insufficient clearance from vehicles on the carriageway; <br /> or <br />10. could mislead drivers or be mistaken as an instruction to <br /> drivers. <br />~21 <br />
