Traffic and Road Stop Signs in Australia 

Stop signs can be used in many contexts and are essential in road and traffic management. In Australia, standard traffic stop signs are the most recognisable with their red background and white capitalized letters that spell out STOP. 

The primary purpose of a stop sign in traffic management is to control the right of way at an intersection. The stop sign meaning for drivers is that they must come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way to other vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists before proceeding. The stop sign on roads helps prevent accidents and maintain order at intersections.

In Australia, road signs are required to be produced on an approved reflective material. At New Signs we offer printing on Class 1, otherwise known as Class 400 reflective material which complies with this requirement. Class 1 signs are identifiable by its honeycomb pattern background which reflects light from wide angles. 

Regulations on road traffic signs change from state to state so be sure to check your local requirements when choosing the sign for your needs. 

Workplace Stop Signage 

Stop Signs can be used in a range of contexts, not just on the roads. Workplaces are a great example of where stop signs can be used in many different ways. In many cases the recognisable red hexagon stop sign picture is used in conjunction with text to convey an important instruction to workers or visitors to a workplace. The stop symbol on a sign invokes a sense of danger or risk if the sign is not complied with. 

Some examples of stop signs that can be used in the workplace in enhance health and safety include: 

• In warehouse and factory environments where caution needs to be taken around the movement of vehicles, trucks and forklifts. Introduce a Stop For Watch for Moving  Vehicles Sign or Stop All Forklifts Honk Horn and Look Both Ways Sign to help manage this issue. 

• In kitchens, hospitals or workplace cafeterias you can use stop signs to encourage behaviours around washing and sanitising with a Stop Did You Wash Your Hands Sign or Stop Did You Sanitise Your Hands Sign

• In retail shops, office buildings or factories you can include stop signs on doors around your facilities to manage access to areas. Add a Stop No Entry To Workshop Staff Only Sign or Stop Please Wait For Assistance Sign to your workplace.
