1Introduction#

This Technical Specification defines the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning, performance, documentation, training, maintenance and handover requirements for Electronic Traffic Control Signs (eTCS).

eTCS are used to display sign faces that are defined in Transport Operations Road Use Management Act 1995 (TORUM), Queensland Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (Queensland MUTCD), or Traffic Control (TC) Signs. The sign is populated with only the LEDs required to display the defined sign faces.

The eTCS shall be mounted on a fixed or portable structure and shall only display up to two alternate messages / symbols or a blank.

A full matrix sign intended to display multiple messages is not within the scope of this Technical Specification. These are covered by other Technical Specifications including MRTS202 Variable Message Signs, and MRTS262 Transportable Variable Message Signs.

This Technical Specification shall be read in conjunction with MRTS01 Introduction to Technical Specification, MRTS50 Specific Quality System Requirements, and other Technical Specifications as appropriate.

This Technical Specification forms part of the Transport and Main Roads Specifications Manual.
