Hey Guys,

does anybody have any photos of the old black NR1 Pacific Highway signage particulary between Wahroonga and Kariong? Apart from screenshots from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQOHFIPHH4A and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VpmRt9wBjA&ab_channel=NSWRoadsNSWRoads

Cheers, Adrian

The screenshots from those videos are pretty much the only ones that have surfaced so far.

And most are vastly different to what was on the freeway in the early to mid 80s, with a couple of exceptions.

Was looking around on Street View, around the Calga and Mt White intersections, apparently, there were some nice black signs (2009). Why did RTA like to remove some older signs like that? They didn't remove the one in Erina when they were doing some upgrades.

Not one of those are black signs. They're all full reflective green signs installed in the 90s.

They looked like black signs on Google Street View...

Unfortunately GSV has colour issues on the older images. Sam from Ozroads has photos of the 1980s black signs along the Old Pacific Hwy.

Here's a nice shot of an old Pacific Hwy Sign on Mann St, taken in 1970. (Photo taken from a FB group)

Nice. When did Australia actually switch the font on the black road signs from all caps as used here to mixed case?

Very nice find! There used to be few signs in that style around that area when I was a kid in the 80s. Even on the Pacific Hwy itself.

Has a nice NR1 marker on it and seems to have a black background.

Found the location of where the sign used to be, just after the Harbour Bridge section of the Bradfield Hwy.

Not particularly a black sign, but an old Highway 1 sign, screen-grabbed from the Road Makers Book  highway 1.PNG

Was there a time in Highway 1’s life where it didn’t have a section that cut across from Darwin to cairns via Burke Dev road?

Quite a few people do it and want to do it. I'd love to give it a go one day. I have done large swathes of it and will be doing a return trip from the east coast to west coast again later in the year, all going well.

Signage for NR1 across the top between Normanton and Borroloola is not consistent, as a National Route is not normally signposted on unsealed roads, and some unsealed sections still remain.

Definitely.

 

When we drove around Australia in 1974 it wasn’t there.  Somewhere out near Mount Surprise, there was a sign saying “End 1”

I believe there is still a big gap in western QLD - no NR1 signage between Normanton area and the NT Border. Inside NT there are some signs with NH1(!) on Wollogorang Road, but also not comprehensive.

Streetview confirms this, though the imagery is mostly from 2008

I will get to drive SOME of this route on 20th July for a work trip.  But only Normanton to Atherton Tablelands unfortunately.  It seems I cannot come up with anyone who will pay me to drive to Burketown and into NT.
