213 Fryers St - Google Maps

Saw this relic on a trip to Shepparton the other week - stunned to see the old Midland Highway signage still hanging around and wondering what else is about!

Is there any SR180 left, surely that'd be the most urban remaining signage?

There's a couple of SR149 signs still in Shepparton, and a couple of NR39 signs there too

I posted this in the worst signs thread a while ago, but here is a SR180 sign that was actually only installed somewhere between 2013-2015 according to Google Maps (replacing a near identical older sign - someone must have forgotten to remove the SR180). I think there is a few still lying around near Dandenong Bypass as well. 

As stated on Wikipedia there is a faded out SR181 in Wonthaggi, which seems like it is still there since at least up to Dec 2019 (most recent imagery from Apple Maps, GSV is 2018). 

Also I remember seeing a SR112 sign on Glenelg Hwy in the last 2 years or so, I can't remember exactly where it was though.

This is the old 180 sign I was trying to remember - looks like it was coverplated in the 2010s and eventually removed.

This is the mentioned 181 sign - basically gone these days but clearly visible in 2014.


This sign has also seen better days! (SR 112)

1000 C754

Not sure if it falls under the same category but this old MR54 sign was finally removed a couple of weeks ago on Melton Hwy - C754

Not technically an SR, but this ancient MR2 sign is still kicking iirc.

There's another SR180 sign in Dandenong South: https://goo.gl/maps/bBaZD7CRurzGWaZr8. It's still there as of last month.

This SR63 sign could still be found on C404 Narre Warren North Rd in Google's July 2021 pics, but when they went again in 2022 it was gone. Funny how you can see where it was because that part of the pole is darker than the rest of it.

There's also this SR26 sign on C412 Burwood Hwy - I spotted it when I went to Belgrave last January. I don't know if it's been removed since then.

I came across this one recently on Balnarring Road on the Mornington Peninsula.

It was still there as of a week ago.

That’s a nice remnant for so many reasons, the old shield, old road name section and thick border

That’s a bodgy cover plating job!

Very cool they’re still there, especially given the massive rollout of new signs for SRNS
