Old
Hand Painted Speed Limit Sign
This has to be my favourite
photo, and more of these old hand painted ones will
eventually grace these pages. All signs in the ACT were
once hand painted. This old hand-painted pre-self government
60 km/h speed limit sign is in Clunies Ross Street,
Acton, ACT. Taken March 2003.
