Automatic Gate Signs

Automatic Gate Signs are signs that provide information or warnings about automatic gates. They are used to alert people to the presence of automatic gates and to instruct them on how to use them safely.

These signs are typically found near entrances or access points where automatic gates are installed. The purpose is to ensure that pedestrians and drivers know the automatic gates and understand how they operate.

These signs must comply with specific standards in Australia to ensure safety and clarity. The Australian Standards for automatic gate signs are specified under AS 2890.1:2004 - "Parking facilities Part 1: Off-street car parking" and AS 1742.12-2019 - "Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices Part 12: Parking controls." These standards define the size, colours, and shapes of these signs.

The colours used for automatic gate signs are typically white text on a red background. The red is highly visible and catches people's attention, while the white text provides clear contrast for easy reading.

As for shapes, these signs usually have a rectangular shape. The rectangular design is standard for many traffic and safety signs, making them easily recognizable.
