| ON SIDE ROAD | TM5-9A | 600 x 600 | This sign may be used in advance of an intersection to warn of the relevant activities on another road where there is insufficient distance on the other road from the intersection to the start of the works for turning traffic to be given adequate warning. This sign shall not be used with a regulatory sign. This sign shall not be used with the Detour marker (TM5 6A), with the preferred arrow to indicate the direction of the side road where road work is being carried out, being the 1200 x 300 Horizontal Arrow (TM5 8B) as shown following. This sign may be used on a through road to warn of works on a side road, however this sign shall not be used when used on a side road to warn of activities on a through road. This sign shall not be used on the terminating leg of a T intersection to warn of relevant activities on the continuing leg of the T intersection. The ROAD WORK AHEAD (TM1-1A or TM1-1C) with a direction arrow (TM5-8B) should be used instead. In Queensland, the 600 x 600 arrow (TM10-1A) (TM2-Q03) may be used if the TM5-8B arrow is not suitable. | |
| TM5-9B | 1200 x 300 |
