Horizontal Arrow (SYM) TM5-8B (1200x300mm) corflute TM Series direction panel, commonly called a long directional arrow, with black arrow symbol on Class 400T retroreflective yellow sheeting, used beneath activity panels to show the direction of a side road or works location.

Description

Horizontal Arrow (SYM) TM5-8B (1200x300mm) corflute sign panel, commonly called a long directional arrow, displays a black long directional arrow symbol on a yellow retroreflective background. It is used in temporary traffic management setups to indicate the direction of a side road or location where roadwork, road plant or an event is taking place, displayed beneath the panel that describes the activity.

The signface layout, symbol and colours follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 signface design for the TM5-8B code. This standard-listed TM Series traffic diversion and direction panel is supplied as a modular corflute panel for use with compatible temporary roadwork sign frame systems.

UAGS temporary traffic sign corflute panels are manufactured on 6mm UV stabilised corflute using Class 400T retroreflective yellow sheeting with opaque black printing. The black long directional arrow symbol, black border and yellow retroreflective background support clear direction indication where this panel is specified.

This 1200x300mm corflute sign panel is designed to slide into compatible temporary roadwork sign frames, including suitable 1200x300mm Double-Sided Traffic Sign Frame Type 4 arrangements and suitable Multi-Message Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements where the frame accepts a 1200x300mm corflute panel.

In practical use, the long directional arrow may be displayed with an On Side Road TM5-9A panel to indicate the direction of the side road where roadwork is being carried out, or with an advance warning panel such as Roadwork Ahead or Road Plant Ahead to indicate which direction the activity lies from an intersection. The panel is printed as a single arrow; the direction shown depends on how the panel is oriented in the frame for the site.

The long directional arrow is a direction indicator, not a detour marker. Where traffic is being diverted off the normal roadway, the Detour Left TM5-1B(L) and Detour Right TM5-1B(R) panels carry a DETOUR legend with an arrow for that purpose.

This panel provides direction information only. It does not create, authorise or legally enforce a lane change, turn restriction, detour or traffic control arrangement by itself. Selection, placement, panel pairing, frame arrangement and use remain subject to the applicable TMP, TGS, project requirements, site conditions and relevant authority requirements.

Horizontal Arrow TM5-8B FAQs

What is the Horizontal Arrow TM5-8B panel used for?

This panel indicates the direction of a side road or location where roadwork, road plant or an event is taking place. It is displayed beneath the panel that describes the activity, such as On Side Road, Roadwork Ahead or Road Plant Ahead, where specified by the applicable TMP or TGS.

Is this a standard-listed TM Series sign panel?

Yes. TM5-8B is listed as a TM5 traffic diversion multi-message sign panel, under the name Horizontal Arrow in AS 1742.3 Table A.1. Traffic management crews commonly call it a long directional arrow; both names refer to this panel. The signface layout, symbol and colours follow the applicable AS 1743:2023 signface design for TM5-8B.

Is this a detour sign?

No. The long directional arrow indicates direction only. Detour Left TM5-1B(L), Detour Right TM5-1B(R) and Detour Straight TM5-1B(S) panels carry a DETOUR legend with an arrow and are used where traffic is being diverted off the normal roadway.

Can the arrow point left or right?

The panel is printed as a single long arrow. The direction shown depends on how the panel is oriented in the frame for the site. Arrow orientation should be confirmed against the applicable TMP, TGS or site arrangement before use.

What reflective sheeting is used?

This panel uses Class 400T retroreflective yellow sheeting with opaque black printing. Reflective wording relates to the supplied signface material only. Selection and use remain subject to the applicable TMP, TGS, site conditions and project requirements.

Which frames is this 1200x300mm panel compatible with?

This 1200x300mm corflute panel is designed to slide into compatible temporary roadwork sign frames, including suitable 1200x300mm Double-Sided Traffic Sign Frame Type 4 arrangements and suitable Multi-Message Sign Frame No. 1 arrangements where the frame accepts a 1200x300mm corflute panel. Frame slot size, panel arrangement and deployment requirements should be confirmed before use.

Does this panel create a compliant traffic control arrangement by itself?

No. This panel does not create site compliance, TMP validity, TGS validity, authority approval or an approved traffic management arrangement by itself. It is one component within a broader temporary traffic management arrangement.
