Temporary Hazard Marker (SYM) TM5-5A (600x600mm) corflute sign panel displays a black chevron-style temporary hazard marker symbol on a yellow retroreflective background. Commonly called a chevron sign, it is used in temporary traffic management setups where road users need visual guidance through a change in alignment, temporary lane deviation, worksite edge or hazard area.

The signface layout, chevron symbol and colours follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 signface design for the TM5-5A code. This TM Series temporary hazard marker / chevron delineation 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 chevron symbol, black border and yellow retroreflective background support clear temporary hazard marker visibility where this panel is specified.

This 600x600mm corflute sign 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 sign arrangement is suitable.

In practical use, this panel may be used to guide drivers through lateral shifts, temporary lane deviations, changed alignments, chicanes, median openings, traffic islands, worksite edges or non-trafficable areas adjacent to the travelled path where a temporary hazard marker is specified.

In compatible Multi-Message Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements, this panel may be used with related warning, condition or guidance panels such as Reduce Speed, Prepare To Stop, Merge Left, Merge Right, Two Way Traffic, Road Work Ahead, Lane Closed or other relevant temporary traffic management panels where specified by the applicable TMP, TGS, site arrangement, project requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements.

This panel provides temporary hazard marker / chevron delineation information only. It does not create a lawful lane shift, road closure, lane closure, traffic diversion, site compliance, TMP validity, TGS validity or approved traffic control arrangement by itself, and it does not replace cones, bollards, barriers, delineators, lane closure devices, physical controls or approved traffic guidance layouts where those are required.

Selection, placement, orientation, spacing, pairing, visibility, frame arrangement and use remain subject to the applicable TMP, TGS, site arrangement, project requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements.
