That link was impossible - it included multiple levels of referrals, google search, etc. Is this the image you mean? http://snipurl.com/4lrr9 If so, I can't find an exact match, and can't find a website that talks specifically about Australian road signage There are lots of images, though, including some vector images in this Australian Road Rules pdf (2.6MB to download): http://www.ntc.gov.au/filemedia/Reports/AustralianRoadRulesFebruary2008.pdf While it talks about the content of signs, it says nothing about the typography. The signage has lots of similarities to good old Helvetica (except for the M), and to others, including "Outer Loop NF" from Nicksfonts, and some variants of Clearview. Even closer, except for the Oh's Zeroes and Eights, are some of Michael Adams' Roadgeek fonts, particularly the Roadgeek 2005 series E and F. As FONTS they're not up to professional standards, but the designs are extremely accurate. http://www.triskele.com/roadgeek-fonts - Herb
