Tourism Signage Guidelines on State Controlled Roads

The Tourism Signage Guidelines on State-controlled Roads brochure was recently launched by Tourism Queensland and the Department of Main Roads. The brochure aims to provide Queensland tourist operators with an understanding of the Policy of Road Signage on Tourist Attractions. Tourism Queensland worked closely with Main Roads to develop road signage policies in the interests of tourism and road safety.

The brochure provides direction for tourist operators wanting to use road signage for their attractions and it gives them an outline of the themed routes being implemented throughout Queensland. The planned themed routes will link sites, attractions and destinations of tourism significance and will promote the tourism driving experience, providing another promotional avenue for operators to link in to.

One of the aims was to provide information to motorists in a way, which was consistent with overriding safety requirements for all road users. This initiative provides tourist operators with clear guidelines on tourism road signage.

The brochures will be distributed via Regional Tourist Organisations (RTOs), local government and Main Roads offices.
