Ahead TM1-51B (1200x300mm) corflute sign panel displays an AHEAD supplementary message for temporary traffic management arrangements where the associated condition, control, warning or traffic management feature is ahead.

The signface layout, legend and colours follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 signface design for TM1-51B. This standard-listed supplementary TM Series temporary traffic management sign panel is supplied as a modular corflute panel for use with compatible temporary roadwork sign frame systems.

UAGS temporary traffic sign corflute panels are manufactured on 6mm UV stabilised corflute using Class 400T retroreflective yellow sheeting. The black uppercase legend, black border and yellow retroreflective background support use in temporary traffic management environments where this supplementary message is specified.

This 1200x300mm corflute sign panel is designed to slide into compatible temporary roadwork sign frames, including suitable Multi-Message Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements where the frame accepts a 1200x300mm lower corflute panel.

This panel is commonly used as a lower supplementary panel in compatible multi-message sign arrangements where the primary panel needs an AHEAD lead-in. It may be used in roadwork, lane closure, temporary speed management, queued traffic, traffic signal, detour, worksite access or changed traffic condition arrangements where the message is specified by the applicable traffic management arrangement.

As a supplementary message panel, it may form part of a broader temporary traffic management arrangement with a compatible primary sign panel such as Road Work Ahead, Prepare To Stop, Reduce Speed, Queued Traffic, Traffic Lights symbol, Lane Closed, Road Closed, Detour or another logically related TM Series panel where specified. It should not be treated as a standalone warning sign or as creating, authorising or enforcing a traffic condition, control point or restriction by itself.

Selection, placement, panel arrangement and use remain subject to the applicable TMP, TGS, project requirements, site traffic management arrangement, facility requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements.
