A huge road sign sits to one side of the intersection of Great Northern Highway and Gib River - Wyndham Rd, at Lake Argyle, Western Australia. Solar panels at the top of the sign power LED messaging showing the latest road conditions for 7 outback roads along this route. The sign currently indicates all the roads are open, to all vehicles types. Given the many creek crossings involved and the roughness of the roads, this is an important tool for travellers who don’t wish to get stranded. The second sign warns that this is a road train route. They can be up to 53.5 metres (175.5 feet) in length, so a warning is given to take care when overtaking. A third sign advises that the next opportunity to buy fuel is 341 kilometres (212 miles) away.
