Signage is required to adequately aid motorists to follow the Route Numbering systems, find destinations, along with informing of travel distances. This is needed when the road network is huge; covering thousands kilometres of roads across the state of Victoria. It is fair to say that Victoria's system is generally well-signed, and is easy to navigate using signs alone. Since the 1950's, many types of signs have produced, each unique in design and purpose. As the years go by, the design of signs and the implementation has changed dramatically, in favour of motorists.
