Arrow (SYM) TM5-6A (600x600mm) corflute sign panel displays a black directional arrow symbol on a yellow retroreflective background. It is used as a detour marker / directional guide panel for temporary traffic management setups where road users need to follow a specified detour direction, temporary route or controlled movement.

The signface layout, arrow symbol and colours follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 signface design for the TM5-6A code. This TM Series directional detour marker 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 from 6mm UV stabilised corflute using Class 400T retroreflective yellow sheeting with opaque black printing. The black arrow symbol, black border and yellow retroreflective background provide clear directional guidance where this panel is specified as part of a temporary traffic management arrangement.

In deployment-context terms, the TM5-6A Detour marker may be used to guide and reassure road users along the route of a detour, particularly where a general Detour sign may misdirect road users who are not following the detour. It is commonly suited to built-up areas, side-street detours, temporary route changes and controlled movement arrangements where clear directional guidance is required.

When used in a compatible multi-message sign frame, the TM5-6A arrow marker may be used in conjunction with the TM5-7A DETOUR panel where specified by the applicable TMP, TGS, detour arrangement, site requirements or project requirements. It may also be used as a directional marker with another panel applicable to a specific group of road users, such as cyclists or pedestrians, where specified.

This 600x600mm panel is compatible with suitable temporary roadwork sign frame systems that accept 600x600mm corflute panels. It may also be used in compatible Multi-Message Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements where the frame configuration accepts 600x600mm corflute panels and the overall detour sign arrangement is suitable.

The arrow panel may be mounted with the arrow pointing vertically upward, left or right depending on the required detour direction, route guidance or temporary traffic movement. Final orientation and placement should match the applicable site arrangement.

This panel provides directional marker information only. It does not create a lawful detour, approved route, road closure, site compliance, TMP validity, TGS validity or complete traffic control arrangement by itself, and it must not be used as a Lane Status sign. Selection, orientation, panel pairing, placement and use remain subject to the applicable TMP, TGS, detour design, site arrangement, project requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements.
