This document provides guidelines for signing approved diversion routes. Diversion routes may be temporary signs used to divert traffic around traffic incident sites (for example, crash site) or permanent signs that guide specific types of vehicles along an alternative route (for example, excess mass, oversized vehicles).

To promote standard practices on Queensland's state-controlled road network, the signs detailed in this Part are exclusively reserved for diversion route signing only. The intention is for these signs to remain unique, thus they are not to be used (or modified for use) for any other application without prior approval from the Traffic Engineering Unit.

The investigation and selection of roads that form a diversion route, as well as consultation and sign-off by relevant stakeholders, must be finalised before consideration is given to designing a suite of signs using this Part.
