Unfortunately not all Class 1 (Class 400) material is created equal - just because your sign has a 'honeycomb' design, it does not necessarily mean the reflective material used is compliant!

Don't be swindled by cheap imitations - make 100% sure you are only using signs with reflective material that is fully compliant. Read on to find out about our certified Australian-made RoadBase signs that only feature the best quality, compliant materials!

The older, larger 400 x 400mm rear markers made using Class 2 reflective material are being phased out - in fact, the NHVR's 3-year transitional period was due to end on 31 December 2020.

Oversize banners are easy to store and can be attached to almost anything - but like all vehicle safety and compliance signage, there are design requirements and limitations on when they can be used. Read on to find out more!
