RE: restricted road maps

Hello all ... I obviously posted this in the wrong section, so I will try again

As a relatively new "vanner" and a first timer on this forum, I was wondering if anyone might be able to direct me to where I can find a road map which lists roads unsuitable for caravans? On 2 recent trips we came across 2 roads which had signs denying caravan access which were not listed on any of our maps, including camps australia etc. We have found maps listing the big rigs (mining vehicles etc) but nothing for vans. Cheers Mr Grumpy

I've been doing it for a lot of yrs now.
Apart from dirt and Snow areas.
The only signage I have seen anywhere.
has nbeen the little road sign at start of actual piece of road.

I don't think there is such a thing. In the general run of things.
we aren't worth worrying about. Too low a %%age.

Let us know hey.

G'day grumpy ( a person after my own heart ) and welcome to this great forum.

The only thing that I can suggest is to buy a topological map from a map shop. These show all roads etc

Good luck

If have planned your journey in advance, google MAP SIX and check out the roads you intend travelling on. Just a thought.

I put "google MAP SIX" into a google search and could not see what you are referring to. Please provide a link.
