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 turn 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 />
