Crossing and Animal Warning Signs in Victoria

A warning sign alerts you to possible danger ahead. Take notice of it: that usually means slowing down and being ready to react. Crossing signs warn of people or animals that may enter the road.

  • Be especially alert near schools and children's crossings.
  • Slow down for animals on country roads: kangaroos and farm animals cause serious crashes.
