[talk-au] Maxweight signs question

[Mateusz Konieczny]

How weight limit signs in Australia looks like? Especially on bridges?

I found https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/signs/regulatory <https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/signs/regulatory>
with "Bridge load limit signs" that have two examples:
https://www.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0020/42824/r6-3.png <https://www.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0020/42824/r6-3.png>
https://www.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0013/42700/r6-17.png <https://www.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0013/42700/r6-17.png>

is the same set of signs used in 5 other states?
is "per axle group" commonly used or is it an extremely rare curiosity?
is this sign using short ton or long ton or normal ton (=1000 kg) as an unit?

According to sources that I also encountered design like US signs, like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MUTCD_R12-1.svg <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MUTCD_R12-1.svg>
is at least sometimes used in Australia.

Is it correct? (my sources were quite dubious so...)

I am asking as I work on extending StreetComplete by adding max weight quest for bridges 
and I want to support also Australia-style weight limits - and 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Australia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Australia> appears to be incomplete and I failed to
find a better source, except Queensland page (pointing me to a better one would be very helpful!)

PS StreetComplete is a bit different editor, available as an Android application - it allows to make 
a very limited set of edits, but all can be done by answering simple questions with no OSM specific
knowledge necessary.

PPS In case that somebody used StreetComplete and noticed some stupid and preventable behavior,
reports at https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues <https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues> are welcomed (or
within this thread if someone is unable/unwilling to make a Github account)
