5.6Warning signs#
The PREPARE TO STOP sign must be used in conjunction with the Traffic Controller (Symbolic) sign when using a STOP / SLOW bat, and, where possible, it is recommended these signs be positioned side-by-side. When using a PTCD, the symbolic sign for a set of signals or a boom barrier is used instead of a Traffic Controller (symbolic) sign. When used side-by-side in a multi-message situation, it is mandatory that the PREPARE TO STOP sign is placed closest to the traffic as a 600 x 600 sign. The PREPARE TO STOP sign must be used where warranted as part of the advance signage on approach to the traffic control position. Refer to Section 4.8 and 5.10 of QGTTM Part 3 and Guideline – Traffic Management at Works on Roads. The QUEUED TRAFFIC sign arrangement may be used where there is more than one PREPARE TO STOP sign to warn traffic approaching the end of the queue. The STOP HERE-style signs are used to define the stopping location for traffic in advance of the traffic control station.
