D roads certainly do exist, however at times the signs are covered over/folded up etc. The one I know for certain is a Pacific Highway detour which heads West from Nabiac and goes up to Krambach: http://osm.org/go/uaQzXe_
After that I don't know where it goes. There's a D sign at this intersection: http://osm.org/go/uaQzVoPL but I've not followed it after that. I guess it goes to Gloucester and follows the Buckets Way back to the Pacific Highway ~30km North of Raymond Terrace. The D sign linked to above was only installed after a fatal accident occured on the Pacific Highway at Buladelah which resulted in all traffic being diverted at Nabiac (and a large number of cars passing by our property on Wallanbah Road requiring directions). Prior to that accident ~2 years ago I don't think there was an official detour route, so they may only be temporary and not worth mapping. For anybody who's interested the D route sign in question is visible in Google Street View here: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=-32.085556,152.322092&spn=0,359.92301&z=14&layer=c&cbll=-32.085453,152.32208&panoid=u93FikimFDFYopOTvwIqEg&cbp=12,212.72,,0,12.53 -Brent ----- Original Message ----- From: John Smith <delta_foxt...@yahoo.com> Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 2:24 pm Subject: Re: [talk-au] I've been trying to fix the highway shields and came across this....
