Next 2 km TM1-28B (1200x300mm) corflute sign panel displays a NEXT 2 km supplementary distance message for temporary traffic management arrangements where the associated warning condition applies over the next 2 km.

The signface layout, legend and colours follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 signface design for TM1-28B. This standard-listed supplementary / distance message 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 and yellow retroreflective background support use in temporary traffic management setups where this supplementary distance 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 lower panel arrangements where the frame accepts a 1200x300mm corflute panel.

In deployment-context terms, a NEXT X km sign may be used with a compatible primary warning sign such as a Worker symbolic sign, ROAD PLANT AHEAD sign or GRADER AHEAD sign where those signs are used to warn of a frequently changing work area. This wording describes deployment context only and does not mean the panel itself creates a compliant traffic management arrangement.

This panel may be used to show that the associated warning condition applies over the next 2 km, where specified as part of a broader temporary traffic management setup. Typical use may include roadwork, frequently changing work areas, mobile or moving work activities, road plant operations, grader works, worker warning arrangements, civil works, shoulder works, maintenance works and staged works where a suitable primary warning sign is also specified.

As a supplementary distance message panel, TM1-28B should not be treated as a standalone warning sign, standalone roadwork warning sign or complete traffic control arrangement by itself. It is used with a compatible primary warning sign where a NEXT 2 km distance message is specified as part of the broader temporary traffic management arrangement.

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