House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Answers to Questions Road Safety Road Safety In reply to Ms BEDFORD House of Assembly Florey Road Safety In reply to Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (11 May 2021). The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Recreation Road Safety The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised: The safety assessment for roadside advertising signs is based on the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) Advertising Signs Assessment Guidelines which consider a range of factors including positioning, impact on adjacent traffic control devices, luminance as well as the duration (dwell time) and transition time of the information displayed on the sign (including digital displays). In addition to this assessment, the state government requires any such sign to be proof engineered by an independent expert safety auditor who conducts a comprehensive safety audit of the sign. All billboards positioned on Commissioner of Highway roads have had this two-level review process to mitigate any safety risks to road users. South Australia has some of the most strenuous digital sign standards in the country with high standards for luminance, positioning and transition time. South Australia also has the longest dwell time in the country of 45 seconds. This approach is consistent with the priority that the Marshall government places on road safety.
