Kangaroo Warning Sign
Kangaroos are a significant traffic hazard in the ACT, and many roads with isolated stretches have these signs. It's not uncommon to see kangaroos any time of the day in just about any part of the suburbs. July 2006, eastbound at Campbell. This area was where the once proposed Monash Drive arterial road was once planned to intersect.
