DSE and VicRoads have developed signs to indicate noise sensitive areas where riders should ride more slowly and quietly. Obeying these signs is voluntary (ie. not a legal requirement), but if riders ride slowly and quietly in these areas, it will help keep the peace and be greatly appreciated by other forest users and nearby residents Refer to map overleaf for key sensitive areas
