Detour Ahead TM1-6B (1200x300mm) corflute sign panel provides advance warning of a detour bypassing a section of normal roadway that is not trafficable or where work is being carried out. The detour may direct motorists via other roads, streets or a temporary side track, depending on the applicable traffic management arrangement.

The signface layout, legend and colours are manufactured to follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 design specifications for the TM1-6B advance warning panel. This advance warning panel is sized for compatible 1200x300mm sign frames, including the 1200x300mm Double-Sided Traffic Sign Frame Type 4, and may also be used as a text warning panel within Multi-Message Traffic Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements where specified.

UAGS temporary traffic sign corflute panels are manufactured on 6mm UV stabilised corflute (plastic flute board) using Class 400T full-cube prismatic retroreflective yellow sheeting. The bold black DETOUR AHEAD text and black border support strong legibility in daytime and low-light conditions. The lightweight construction is suited to efficient transport, vehicle loading and rapid site deployment across changing work zones.

This 1200x300mm panel is sized for compatible 1200x300mm sign frame systems, where the selected frame arrangement is specified by the applicable TMP, TGS, project requirements or relevant authority requirements. Final use as a standalone sign or within a broader sign arrangement should be confirmed against the approved traffic management documentation for the site.

This warning panel is distinct from directional detour marker panels such as Detour Left TM5-1B(L), Detour Right TM5-1B(R) or Detour Straight TM5-1B(S), which use a DETOUR legend with an arrow to indicate the route direction motorists should follow. TM1-6B provides advance warning only, while directional detour panels provide route direction guidance.

Selection, placement and use remain subject to the applicable TMP, TGS, project requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements. Available for pickup in Bayswater North or delivery Australia-wide.

Detour Ahead TM1-6B FAQs

What is the Detour Ahead TM1-6B sign panel used for?

It is used to provide advance warning of a detour bypassing a section of normal roadway that is not trafficable or where work is being carried out. The detour may direct motorists via other roads, streets or a temporary side track, depending on the applicable traffic management arrangement.

Is TM1-6B the same as a Detour Left, Right or Straight arrow panel?

No. TM1-6B is a DETOUR AHEAD advance warning sign with text only. Directional detour panels such as TM5-1B(L), TM5-1B(R) and TM5-1B(S) use arrows to indicate the route direction motorists should follow through a detour route.

Can this panel be used by itself or only in a Multi-Message Sign frame?

This 1200x300mm warning panel is sized for compatible 1200x300mm sign frame systems, including single-sided or double-sided frame assemblies. It may also be used as a text warning panel within compatible Multi-Message Sign (MMS) frame arrangements. Final use as a standalone sign or within a broader sign arrangement should be confirmed against the applicable TMP, TGS, project requirements and relevant authority requirements.

Where would this sign typically appear in a detour sequence?

It is typically used before motorists reach the detour or diversion point, providing advance notice that normal travel conditions are changing ahead. Directional detour marker panels may then be used later in the sequence to guide motorists left, right or straight along the detour route.

What type of reflective sheeting is used on this panel?

This panel uses Class 400T full-cube prismatic retroreflective yellow sheeting to support visibility in temporary traffic management environments. Older project documents, supplier references or road authority drawings may refer to Class 1, Class 1W, Class 1 WZ or similar reflective sheeting terminology for temporary roadwork signs.

Does installing this sign panel guarantee worksite compliance?

No. This sign panel is one component within a broader temporary traffic management arrangement. The selection, placement and sequencing of temporary signage must be determined by the applicable TMP, TGS, project requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements.
