Seymour town entry signs

Seymour, named by Thomas Mitchell after the British parliamentarian Lord Seymour, was established in 1839 at the crossing of the Goulburn River on the Melbourne-Sydney route (now known as the Hume Highway) where an inn was first built.

The embossed tree graphic along with the curved lines represents the beautiful wooded area and the Seymour Trail. You could interpret these lines as a 'wandering' trail and the river as well. The top curved shape is a 'nod' to the Goulburn River and leads the viewer's eye down to the main town name. The wood look is replicated in the base and constructed of vandal proof material.

Signs placed close to a State controlled road need to be frangible. This simply means, as a safety measure, that they will give when impacted by an errant vehicle. Signs placed further away from the road are harder to see and maintain.

These signs are fitted with patented maintenance free, omni-directional breaksafe mounting couplings. The couplings will break away quickly and cleanly on impact resulting in a minimum of damage to both property and passenger, regardless of angle of impact. The system is one of the safest in use anywhere and has approval from the state road authority.
