Understanding brown tourist attraction road signs.

Wayfound has recently completed consultations for tourism signage strategies in two regional areas, one in Western Australia and one in NSW. And despite being on opposite sides of the country, their problems and goals are similar. Both want to attract more visitors and raise awareness of what their area has to offer and both lack tourism road signage that helps support their goals.

Another common issue is a lack of knowledge about the road signage system and the purpose of the different type of signs. There is often conflict between road authorities, who always err towards limiting the number of signs on the road network to ensure road safety and minimise clutter and tourism business operators, who often want a lot of signs to ensure that potential customers find their business.

So, here’s some information on the system in general and some specific information about brown tourist attraction signs.

THE 4 TYPES OF TOURISM ROAD SIGNAGE

There are four main types of road signs used by visitors to find tourist attractions and facilities in Australia.

• directional signs (white on green)
• tourist attraction signs (white on brown)
• services signs (white on blue)
• community facility signs (white on blue)

These are standard types of signs that work together to help motorists find their way and to let them know what attractions, services and facilities are available. These types of signs are recognised internationally they use standard symbols.

Some people say that the road signs are boring and want to know why they don’t have more colour and imagery. But the primary purpose of these signs are for wayfinding and road safety, they are not marketing purposes.

WHAT ARE BROWN TOURIST ATTRACTION SIGNS?

Tourist attraction signs use white lettering on a brown background. They identify tourist attractions of significant recreational and cultural interest, and may make use of tourist attraction symbols.

Attractions & eligibility requirements

  The types of attractions that may be eligible for tourist attraction signs include things like galleries, museums, Aboriginal sites and cultural centres, historic properties, sites and walks, wineries, outdoor/nature based attractions and theme parks.

These attractions must also meet the following eligibility criteria.

• The attraction is established and operating.
• No pre-booking is required to visit the attraction.
• There are adequate car parking facilities.
• There are publicly accessible toilets available.
• The attraction is open for at least 5 days per week (including both weekend days); 6 hours per day; and 11 months of the year.
• Opening hours are permanently displayed at the entrance to the property.
• The attraction has a current brochure available, with opening hours etc.

Why the strict eligibility?

In most states and territories, there are strict criteria for eligibility for brown signs.

  The criteria ensure that the attractions signposted offer visitors a quality tourism experience. Tourist signs will only be effective if visitors have confidence in the quality of the product and service they are likely to receive. They will be more likely to stop and visit attractions they are not necessarily familiar with if they know that a tourist sign indicates a high-quality experience, good service and facilities. TASAC

The National Tourism Signing Reference Group (NTSRG) is made up of representatives from the road and tourism authorities in each of the states and territories. They have some very useful publications to make tourism road signage easier to understand.

• Accessible tourism

If you operate a business which primarily attracts and caters for visitors from outside your local area, you may be eligible for road signing. If you would like a road sign for your tourism business, you will need to consider the following points:

• There are two types of road signs available for tourism businesses: (1) white text on brown background for tourism attractions and (2) white text on a blue background for tourism services
• Motorists can only absorb a limited amount of information when travelling at speed
• Tourism roads signs are not advertising signs nor are they for advertising purposes
• To qualify for road signs, businesses must first meet a set of quality standards
• Eligibility does not automatically guarantee entitlement to tourism road signs as other factors will be considered by the road authorities
• There are different rules for tourist attractions and services located in built-up areas and for signing from urban and rural freeways
• Businesses will need to factor into their planning that the overall process from application to manufacture and installation may take up to 3 - 4 months (even longer) from start to finish
• If successful, businesses will be required to meet the costs associated with the provision of the sign(s), including maintenance.

Visit the VicRoads website to find out more information about tourism road signing, or contact your local council or regional Department of Transport and Planning office.

Tourist attraction sign application

Tourist signs have white words on a brown background and show the location details and direct motorists to nearby tourist attractions.

Before applying for a sign, you must meet all core criteria and any specific criteria for the category that relates to your tourist attraction.

If you are granted approval for a sign, you will be required to pay for sign design, manufacturing and installation .

Core criteria

To qualify for tourist signs, your tourist attraction must:

• have been operating for at least 6 months (providing a significant tourism experience)
• have all relevant local, state and commonwealth licences and approval to operate
• not require pre-bookings to visit the attraction during normal opening hours
• be open for a minimum of 5 days a week, including weekends and public holidays (excluding Good Friday, Anzac Day and Christmas Day) and a minimum of 6 hours per day. Must be open during school holidays
• provide adequate parking, either on-site or within close and convenient proximity to the attraction
• provide visitors with high-quality interpretation (for example, guided tours, self-guided tour brochures, audio tours, brochures or pamphlets, labels or text panels, annotated displays). Attractions cannot rely solely on verbal interpretation provided by an operator or staff member
• provide toilet facilities that comply with disability access legislation
• be appropriately signed so that it is easily identifiable at the entrance, with information about the opening hours, days of operation and contact details included
• be supported by relevant marketing material (for example, a brochure available from the nearest Visitor Information Centre, or an established website that includes printable information, that clearly states the street address, opening days and hours, and contact phone numbers). It should also include a map that provides clear navigation to the attraction, without relying on signs
• be open for 9 months of the year or more. An attraction open less than 9 months of the year seeking tourist signing needs to prove why it legitimately cannot deliver a year-round experience (for example, climatic seasonal factors that affect the quality of the experience).

Desirable criteria

• participate in the local, regional or peak sector tourism organisation
• be listed on the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) .

Road Signs & Traffic Signs in Australia: The Definitive Guide

Traffic signs provide information on road rules and conditions while also warning you of possible dangers. There are many road signs in Australia that you must know to safely operate your vehicle. If you are new to driving, it’s vital that you learn these before you get behind the wheel for the first time.

In this article, we’ll cover:

• Warning Signs – These alert you to possible dangers ahead. Usually yellow diamond shapes with black symbols or words.
• Regulatory Signs – These inform drivers of traffic laws and regulations. Road users must obey all instructions on regulatory signs.
• Road Work Signs – These are used at road works to create a safe environment for workers on or near the road.
• Guide and Information Signs – The last type of road sign used in Australia are the information signs. They give information to the driver about, for example, distance to a town or city.

Wine Tourism Signs

Home > Tourism > Operators > Wine Tourism Signs

Vinehealth Australia has designed a suite of biosecurity signs for consumer-facing purposes such as cellar doors and cycling/walking tracks. We have developed these signs in consultation with regional wine associations.

The signs include English and Mandarin messages that aim to build a partnership with visitors around vine health and protection. At an additional cost, private business logos can be added. Our vision at Vinehealth Australia is for every cellar door in Australia to proudly display wine tourism biosecurity signs in a prominent area.

Note: Sign prices (see the order form below) were updated on 6 October 2021 due to increased material costs. We have passed on the increased amount from the sign manufacturer only.

Councils have planning regulations around signage. Therefore, please check with your local council’s planning department, as development approval may be required. A reminder that placing signage on council land and road verges is generally not permitted.

5 best shows like 'The Tourist' to watch after season 2

Here are more thriller TV series like 'The Tourist'

Imagine waking up in a hospital room, in Australia, without any identity about who you are and why you are there. That's the premise behind the trending series on Netflix, "The Tourist."

"The Tourist" seasons 1-2 are streaming on Netflix .

Jamie Dorman stars as the main character, who has no memory of who he is and how he landed in the hospital. A variety of strange, helpful and quirky characters help him along the way. The fantastic blend of mystery, action, and a sprinkling of dark humor has made the show a top choice on Netflix.

Season 1 just became available in the U.S. on the streaming network earlier this year and season 2 just dropped on Feb. 29. When you're done binge-watching, here are some shows like "The Tourist" that offer up the same or similar vibes to fill the void.

Listed as one of the top-rated TV shows by IMDb, this show has endured for five seasons and has received numerous awards and nominations, including six Primetime Emmy wins. The anthology series changes the time period and location for each season, although there is some slight overlap of characters. Each installment focuses on a crime that somehow manages to connect to the city in North Dakota, which the show is named after. 

Fans of the movie will recognize it's a spinoff of the famous film. In addition, if you are familiar with Coen brothers movies , you are sure to spot references to their catalog of work through the show.  This is the perfect follow-up to "The Tourist," considering the mystery woven throughout every season and the dark humor throughout. However, there is plenty of violence in the show, so make sure you are prepared for that. 

Watch on Hulu

'The Missing'

This show is a no-brainer follow-up to "The Tourist" since it was also written and produced by brothers Harry and Jack Williams. However, "The Missing" has less of a humorous touch than its Australia-set counterpart. Season 1 of the show focuses on a little boy who goes missing and his father's motivation to find him. Season 2 shifts to the mystery of a teen who wanders off campus and gets kidnapped, only to come back with a story of another missing girl.

Much like you see with "Fargo," each season is an anthology where there is very little overlap, and you can easily watch them independently of each other. The main connection is the French investigator, Tchéky Karyo as Julien Baptiste, who investigates both cases. 

Watch on Starz

'Three Pines'

If the mystery behind "The Tourist" is what drew you in, you'll love "Three Pines." Based on the novel by Louise Penny, the single-season show centers on Alfred Molina's Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, who is solving perplexing murders in the small Quebec village of Three Pines. The residents aren't exactly happy to see him, but despite that cold reception, he is drawn into the villagers' lives and spots numerous possible suspects, giving the show an intriguing Agatha Christie vibe. 

Sadly, despite its positive reviews, it was canceled after the first season because there was disagreement between the production companies. However, it still stands on its own as a miniseries. You'll be pleased to know there is an ongoing request for signatures to renew the show on Change.org if you find yourself enthralled by season one.

Watch on Prime Video

'Mr. Inbetween'

For those enticed by "The Tourist's" Australian setting, you don't want to miss Mr. Inbetween. Scott Ryan's Ray Shoesmith is a charming but violent hitman in Sydney. The mockumentary "The Magician," released in 2005, was about the same character. The show tells Ray's story more seriously and the title points to the ongoing struggle that he faces while balancing his criminal activities with his obligations to friends and family. No surprise, his work takes a toll on his relationships.

There is plenty of crime, romance, and comedy to be found within this series created by our Aussie friends. The series lasted for three seasons, coming to an end simply because Ryan was done playing the character. Considering he played the role in an independent film and a major series, it's no surprise he was done.

'Underbelly'

Another Australian show to add to your streamlining list is "Underbelly." As the title implies, it takes place in the underbelly of the Australian world, focusing on both sides of the law. What really will pull you into this show is each series is based on true-life events.

The first three seasons are based on the book "Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld," while the fourth season is based on the book "Razor" by Larry Writer and the fifth season is on real-life convicted murderer Anthony "Rooster" Perish. The sixth season, set between 1915 and 1927, is about Melbourne gangster Squizzy Taylor. Then, the final season tells the story of gangster Mark Read, otherwise known as Chopper. For crime fans who love a show based on true stories, this one is certain to draw you in and not let you go.
