(b) The installation cost was approximately $16,000 for the pair of signs. They have not yet accrued any associated maintenance costs. (c) An issue was detected with the original control board which was installed in one of the signs. This meant that the signs did not communicate consistently with Main Roads’ management system, thereby causing uncertainty around the signs’ operational status. To overcome the status uncertainty and ensure safety, while replacement control boards from the manufacturer were being obtained, fixed signs were fitted. (d) As of Friday 1 September 2017 all signs are fully operational.
