Left Vehicle Hazard Panel - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to indicate a temporary hazard or risk associated with a vehicle, especially in situations where the vehicle poses an obstruction or unusual condition. These panels are commonly used on commercial vehicles, trailers, or construction equipment during temporary operations, such as roadside works, transport of hazardous materials, or during vehicle breakdowns and recovery.

This type of panel is typically placed on the left rear or side of the vehicle, making it clearly visible to approaching traffic. It helps alert other drivers that there is a specific risk or obstruction on that side, encouraging them to take appropriate caution—such as reducing speed, keeping a safe distance, or manoeuvring around the vehicle safely. In many cases, it may be used alongside other signage or lighting (like beacons or hazard lights) to enhance visibility and safety.

Temporary hazard panels are especially useful in short-term, changing environments—such as construction zones, loading/unloading areas, or event logistics—where fixed signage is not practical. Because they are removable, they offer flexibility for fleet operators and site managers to deploy them as needed, without permanent alterations to the vehicle.

In summary, a Temporary Left Vehicle Hazard Panel is best used when a vehicle is temporarily creating a risk or obstruction on its left side. It enhances visibility, increases driver awareness, and helps prevent accidents in dynamic or short-term roadside situations.
