Bob* was riding across the Kurilpa Bridge into the city on a quiet school holiday Friday morning, also coincidentally World Car-Free Day, when … BAM, he was $464 poorer.

I wonder if the fact that it’s not on a sign by itself, but combined with a bunch of other things, which could mean it’s unenforceable. It reminds me of (but is nowhere near as bad as) the signs on the way in to UQ:
There are clear standard signs on the way out saying 60, but the only sign on the way in is part of a bigger sign including details about smoking, hazardous chemicals, and parking restriction hours. I’ve lived minutes away from the sign for a decade now and have ridden & walked past it many times, and didn’t even notice that sign existed until this year after someone made a comment about the speed limits online. There’s just no way you could justifiably get away with enforcing that one, given how easy it is to miss.
The ones on Kurilpa and Goodwill are better than this, but they still mix the (advisory?) speed limit in with other stuff in a way that you could argue is confusing.
Wow that sign is extra ridiculous. I think most people would struggle to read it standing right in front of it let alone driving past.
s316 does give a lot of leeway e.g.
The point where it becomes substantially different is pretty subjective, which IMO shouldn’t be a thing when you’re talking about road rules, but it’s sadly not the only example.
