314 Diagrams of traffic control devices, traffic-related items and symbols
A diagram in the Australian Road Rules of a traffic control device, traffic-related item, or symbol, represents a likeness of the device, item or symbol.
If there are 2 or more diagrams of a traffic sign in Schedules 2 and 3, or of a traffic-related item or symbol in Schedule 4, each diagram represents a likeness of a permitted version of the sign, item or symbol.

2 A number of traffic signs, traffic-related items or symbols have 2 or more permitted versions.
If a diagram of a traffic sign in Schedule 2 or 3, or of a traffic‑related item or symbol in Schedule 4, is in black and white, the permitted version of the sign, item or symbol is in black and white only.
If a diagram of a traffic sign, traffic-related item or symbol in a rule of the Australian Road Rules is in black and white and the sign, item or symbol is not in black and white only in
Schedule 2, 3 or 4, the diagram is a black and white representation of the sign, item or symbol, and is not a permitted version of the sign, item or symbol.
