3.2.3EVENT IN PROGRESS (ETM02)#

The EVENT IN PROGRESS sign is used as part of a multi-message sign to supplement other messages regarding road conditions, type of event or actions required of road users and, when used, is installed after the EVENT AHEAD signs. The purpose of this sign is to advise motorists that an event is currently taking place.

The ‘NEXT … km’ (ETM10) sign may be used in conjunction with the EVENT IN PROGRESS sign to warn road users to expect event conditions over longer distances.

The installation of repeater EVENT IN PROGRESS signs at regular intervals may also be appropriate, with spacing determined by the length of the event and density of participants expected. If required, repeater signs should be spaced evenly along the event route with a maximum spacing relevant to the road environment and length between intersections which have event signs. Generally, a large event with lots of participants spread out along a route will require fewer repeater signs (as it will be obvious an event is continuing), than for an event of similar length with few participants where there will be large gaps between participants.
