Under section 95 of the Road Traffic Act 1961 the provision of any traffic sign, regulatory or non-regulatory, is the responsibility of the individual road authority. A separate category of orange coloured signs is provided by direction of the Minister for Transport in the Traffic Signs Manual for use at road works. The provision and subsequent timely removal of these signs at any location is a matter for each road authority.
