1. What is the main purpose of the 'Diversion Left' sign?
The main purpose is to clearly inform road users that their intended route is temporarily closed or obstructed and that they must turn left to follow an alternative, designated detour route. This helps maintain traffic flow and prevents vehicles from entering unsafe or closed sections of the road.
2. Why is the sign manufactured using Aluminium Composite?
Aluminium composite is chosen for its superior performance in outdoor environments. It is lightweight for easy handling, yet highly durable, rust-resistant, and weatherproof. Crucially, it holds minimal scrap value, reducing the likelihood of theft from temporary worksites.
3. How does the Class RA1 rating impact sign performance?
The Class RA1 rating denotes an Engineering Grade retroreflective material. This surface is engineered to efficiently reflect light from headlights directly back to the driver. This feature ensures the sign remains highly visible and readable in low-light conditions, darkness, and poor weather, which is essential for temporary traffic signs.
4. Is the 1050 x 750mm size required by regulation?
The 1050 x 750mm size is a large format chosen to ensure maximum impact and long-distance visibility, particularly on busy roads or major diversion routes where speed and traffic volume require early warning. The size allows drivers to react safely and in time for the left turn.
5. What is needed to install this Diversion sign?
The sign comes prepared with pre-installed channeling for mounting. To complete the installation, you will require suitable mounting accessories (like post clips or saddles) and a traffic sign post (such as a steel post), which are typically sold separately from the sign itself.
