Signposting provides one of the most important means of informing visitors of the range of attractions and services available within a destination, in addition to providing a major means of safely and efficiently guiding motorists. Tourist signs indicate to motorists features or establishments which may be of interest to tourists. These signs have a white legend on a brown background. This manual (a) deals with guide signposting of attractions of tourist interest (man-made and natural, commercial and non-commercial), local tourism regions, or routes which might warrant signposting as tourist drives of WAYs; (b) is intended for use by officers of the RTA, Tourism New South Wales, council, and consultants when considering the signposting of tourist attraction, regions and routes; (c) outlines the general principle of signposting treatment, which are similar for all classifications of roads in NSW, i.e., State, regional and local; (d) provides details of the required signposting for appropriate attractions, assuming a suitable location is available for the erection of signs; and (e) supersedes the Department of Main Roads NSW publication, `Guidelines for the Signposting to Major Tourist Attraction'.
