Detour Left TM5-1B(L) (1200x300mm) corflute sign panel provides clear left-direction guidance for motorists within temporary traffic management environments. It is commonly used to redirect traffic when a primary route is closed, restricted or temporarily changed due to active site operations.

The signface layout, arrow symbol, legend and colours are manufactured to follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 design specifications for the TM5-1B(L) guide/detour panel. This directional panel can be used in compatible 1200x300mm sign frames, including the 1200x300mm Double-Sided Traffic Sign Frame Type 4, or integrated as the lower directional panel within Multi-Message Traffic Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements.

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 text, directional left arrow 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 may be deployed as a standalone detour directional marker in a compatible single-panel frame setup where specified by the applicable TMP or TGS. This can be useful for built-up urban areas, side-street diversions and staged detour routes where compact directional guidance is preferred, or where vehicle detour signage needs to work alongside separate pedestrian, cyclist or local access controls.

When used as part of a larger detour sequence, the panel may be positioned at a decision point, side road, temporary diversion route or intersection where motorists need clear left-direction guidance. It may be used with advance warning, road closure, local traffic or additional detour guidance signs, depending on the applicable TMP, TGS, site conditions and authority requirements.

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 Left TM5-1B(L) FAQs

What is the Detour Left TM5-1B(L) sign panel used for?

It is used to provide left-direction detour guidance for motorists being redirected away from a closed road, restricted access point, work zone or temporarily changed traffic route.

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

This 1200x300mm directional panel may be used as a standalone detour marker in compatible single-sided or double-sided 1200x300mm sign frames. It may also be used as the lower directional panel within compatible Multi-Message Sign (MMS) frame arrangements, where specified by the applicable TMP or TGS.

When would this sign be used as a standalone marker?

Standalone use can be suitable for built-up urban areas, side-street diversions, staged detour routes or compact temporary traffic arrangements where a smaller directional marker is preferred over a larger detour sign board. It may also be used where vehicle detour guidance needs to work alongside separate pedestrian, cyclist or local access controls.

What 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.
