Sounds like a good idea. Tomato stakes will be adequate. You will need 
to secure the signs in a way that enables them to keep aligned and not 
swing around with the wind and out of motorists' vision. You'll also 
need a hammer to drive the stakes into the ground - easy at the mo 
while it's soft.

As to what to put on the signs, it needs to be something that can be 
taken in and remembered in a second.  Many of the roadside signs in 
Canberra are a sad waste as the message is in type too small and too 
crowded to be read at 80kph.  Something very brief like "FUEL PRICES ?" 
and a short web address.

Then you have to engage them at the website.
