Overwidth signs

Submitted by notime on Tue, 2013-08-13 08:09

Hi

Can anyone recommend where to buy overwidth signs

My boat is 2.59, so the effort is mainly for insurance purposes

Also what type do you use - plastic? metal?

Flags?

Lights?

Thanks in advance

not sure about that mate, you might need to read the conditions a little closer

3.2 Warning Signs and Flags
3.2.1 A RAV exceeding 2.5 metres in width or 25 metres in length must display:
(a) “Oversize” warning sign on the front of the vehicle;
(b) “Oversize” warning sign on the rear of the v
ehicle, or if carrying a rear projecting load, at
the rear of the load; and
(c) Four (4) brightly coloured red, yellow, or red and yellow flags, at least 450mm long and
450mm wide. One flag must be positioned at each side of both the front and rear of the
vehicle, or if there is any projecting load, at each side of both the front and rear of the
projecting load.

You need headlights on and can also tow under 2.7M after dark now since 18 months ago.

Restrictions on freeway and Old Mandurah road also

 Vinyl signs that rope to the back and front of the boat is what I use. Safteyquip balcatta have them. They were the cheapest I found at $60 each I think
