Signage Requirements

Long Vehicle and Road Train warning sign requirements are stipulated under regulation 276 of the Road Traffic (Vehicles) Regulations 2014.

In WA, transport operators have the option of displaying pictorial RAV Warning Signs that have been designed to provide a visual cue as to the length of the vehicle combination for the purpose of allowing other motorists to make more informed decision when overtaking.

Old and New Signage

These optional signage requirements are specified in the relevant order or permit operating conditions applicable to the vehicle combination.

These optional signs can be displayed instead of Long Vehicle or Road Train warning signs, or they can be displayed with the Long Vehicle or Road Train warning signs to improve vehicle safety.

The below outlines the optional signage requirements for different vehicle combinations. Transport operators should always refer to the current operating conditions for full signage specifications.
