I have searched the Vic Roads documents for the road signs you have posted and can conclude that:-

They are not regulatory signs, therefore there is no requirement.

They are also not not advisory signs, they are not in compliant colours.

Therefore they are informative signs akin to those one would use to check his speedometer....or notice of a wayside stop or hotel.

To suggest that they form an enforceable notice is inaccurate.

happy to be proven otherwise......
