Sydney install water curtain signs, designed by light show company Laservision.

The sign is both obtrusive but perfectly harmless should the driver decide to carry on through. As 10 News report, Sydney was tired of the constant damages caused by the truck drivers, despite installing multiple signs, and did this as a last measure to prevent someone being killed.

A Brief Primer on the Cascade

Fri, 03 May 2013 12:26:11 -0700

Before we get into !important declarations and exactly how they work, let’s give this discussion a bit of context. In the past, Smashing Magazine has covered CSS specificity in-depth, so please take a look at that article if you want a detailed discussion on the CSS cascade and how specificity ties in.

Below is a basic outline of how any given CSS-styled document will decide how much weight to give to different styles it encounters. This is a general summary of the cascade as discussed in the spec:

Find all declarations that apply to the element and property
Apply the styling to the element based on importance and origin using the following order, with the first item in the list having the least weight:
- Declarations from the user agent
- Declarations from the user
- Declarations from the author
- Declarations from the author with !important added
- Declarations from the user with !important added
Apply styling based on specificity, with the more specific selector “winning” over more general ones
Apply styling based on the order in which they appear in the stylesheet (i.e., in the event of a tie, last one “wins”)

With that basic outline, you can probably already see how !important declarations weigh in, and what role they play in the cascade. Let’s look at !important in more detail.
