On Side Road TM5-9A (600x600mm) corflute sign panel displays an ON SIDE ROAD supplementary message on a yellow retroreflective background. It is used in temporary traffic management setups where the associated roadwork, detour, access change or warning condition applies to a side road as part of the site arrangement.

The signface layout, legend and colours follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 signface design for the TM5-9A code. This TM Series supplementary / side-road message 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 uppercase ON SIDE ROAD legend, black border and yellow retroreflective background support clear supplementary side-road messaging where this panel is specified.

This 600x600mm corflute sign panel is compatible with suitable temporary roadwork sign frame systems that accept 600x600mm corflute panels, including suitable 600x600mm Double-Sided Traffic Sign Frame Type 5 arrangements. 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 sign arrangement is suitable.

In practical use, this panel may be used for side road works, utility works on side roads, roadwork sites near intersections, temporary access changes, detour routes, event traffic management, maintenance works, side-road closures and other temporary traffic management layouts where an ON SIDE ROAD message is specified as part of the site arrangement.

In Multi-Message Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements, this panel may be paired with relevant warning, roadwork or directional panels to show that the associated condition applies on a side road. Panel pairing, arrow direction, frame layout and placement should match the applicable TMP, TGS, side-road arrangement, site arrangement, project requirements and relevant authority requirements.

Where specified for the site arrangement, related panels may include Road Work, roadwork symbolic panels, directional arrow panels, Detour, Detour Ahead, Road Closed, Road Closed Ahead, Changed Traffic Conditions, Prepare To Stop, Traffic Controller Ahead, Local Traffic Only, No Through Road or suitable supplementary context panels.

This panel provides supplementary side-road message or site awareness information only. It does not create a lawful side-road closure, detour, roadwork arrangement, access restriction, site compliance, TMP validity, TGS validity or approved traffic control arrangement by itself. Selection, placement, panel pairing, visibility, frame arrangement and use remain subject to the applicable TMP, TGS, side-road arrangement, site arrangement, project requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements.
