Black Directional Sign
Black ID sign located on the Kent and Novar Street interchange for westbound traffic exiting from Adelaide Avenue at Deakin, July 2006. This sign was probably erected when the interchange and Adelaide Avenue were both built in the late 1960's as part of the Yarra Glen project. This eliminated an at-grade junction.
