Darren Hodges brings another mathematically significant roadsign from Australia. Messr. Hodges runs a signspotters website. Continuing our education of Aussie road signs the “3P” indicates that you can park for three hours. Little known item about this sign as well, it’s actually part of the Australian Grand Prix F1 Circuit.

The math couldn’t be simpler here.

8 – 3 = 5

This sign is located in Albert Park, Melbourne. The GPS coordinates are approximately S37 50 31.54 E144 57 47.15. See sign on map!

Continuing with Darren Hodges on our international trip we head to Australia. Messr. Hodges runs a signspotters website. The circled “S” wasn’t obvious to me and luckily Hodges pointed out that it means no standing, or stopping.

I appreciate Hodges solution to this sign, vearing away from the more obvious but ultimately more boring solution that could have been provided.

8 + 4 – 3 = 9

This sign is located in Stratford, Victoria. The GPS coordinates are approximately S37 58 4.54 E147 5 5.54. See sign on map!
