Mini Story:
This double-sided roadwork sign once stood roadside warning drivers of men at work during Australia’s road boom of the late 20th century. With one side in traditional yellow and the other in bold hi-vis orange, it reflects a time of transition in safety standards. Today, it’s a bold slice of industrial Australiana — ready for its next stop.
Made by DeNeefe signs in Eltham, Victoria, Australia this sign measures 60cm x 40cm
DeNeefe signs was established in 1926 with its premises in Eltham now closed.
