STOP HERE sign#

The STOP HERE sign includes a 1200 x 600 STOP HERE WHEN DIRECTED panel with a 1200 x 300 yellow blank (as all multi-message panels need to be filled, and there is no other appropriate 1200 x 300 sign panel to use with this arrangement).

For requirements and information regarding the use of multi-message signs, refer to Queensland MUTCD Part 3, Clauses 4.2.2, 4.4.4 and 4.5.2, and Appendices A and B.

1. 9.The speed limit in advance of the traffic control station is to be a maximum of 60 km/h. In Queensland, the 60 km/h speed limit sign is to be located at least one sign spacing in advance of the primary PTS sign (QGTTM Part 3 Section 4.8). See Note 15 for location considerations and adjustments.

The reason for a temporary speed restriction sign should be clear to the road user. Where speed restrictions are applied for roadworker safety purposes, the speed restriction sign should be used in conjunction with the WORKER (symbolic) sign (QGTTM Part 3 Section 5.5.1 Operational). In this case, the speed limit is for the presence of traffic control; however, due to the special requirements for the PTS signs, a speed limit cannot be used with the traffic controller (or PTCD) symbol. In this scenario, the Designer has chosen to use a WORKER (symbolic) with this assembly.
