Possible cause revealed for heart-stopping freeway sign fallA missing steel plate could be to blame for a massive overhead sign falling onto a car on Melbourne’s Tullamarine Freeway. 9News It's a vulnerable design. The older signs are mounted directly to the frame at the mid-point of the sign. The newer design has the sign mounted fully above the frame, which thus requires an incredibly strong gantry to withstand the pressures on the sign. 9NewsMelb Is this a QA issue?
