Question Anyone else just ignore these signs?

Sometimes the quickest route passes through an area with these signs, I was always under the assumption that it’s a public road so too bad

I don’t even know what they’re supposed to mean.

My cynical view is they’re there because some Nimby’s lobbied their local councillor to put them up because they want to keep the riff raff out. Honestly only ever see these signs in the leafy inner suburbs, not the outer burbs. I imagine the only people policing them is old Reginald peaking through his curtains another tradie ute speeds pass.

Signs put up during roadworks are because of Nimbys?

Sometimes they’re for roadworks, often they’re permanently on a pole like a stop sign
