Absolutely agree with you Bob. I'm just talking about specific "hazardous" roads where the jurisdiction's Roads Authority has put up a permanent sign advising road users to operate on a specific channel for that road. I'm cognizant not to encourage use of 5/35, unless in an emergency.
And Graeme thanks for the research! I'll have a think and do a little Any Tags You Like on the first road. Probably a bit too early for any formal tagging guidelines proposal at this stage. I'll tag Great Alpine Road soon, and see if it evolves to other roadways with verifiable CB signage.
