Tree Cutting Supplementary Plate - Class RA1 - Temporary - TSRGD Diagram: 7000.1 - Road Works Supplementary Plates

Tree Cutting Supplementary Plate signs are important because they alert drivers and pedestrians to ongoing tree cutting or vegetation management activities near or overhanging the roadway. These operations can involve heavy machinery, falling branches, or debris on the road, creating potential hazards that require extra caution.

These signs should be installed in advance of the tree cutting work zone, giving road users sufficient warning to slow down, be alert, and possibly expect delays or temporary traffic control measures. They are typically used in areas with roadside trees, parks, or urban streets undergoing maintenance.

Using these signs helps prevent accidents by ensuring drivers are aware of unusual activity and possible obstructions, thereby enhancing the safety of both workers and road users. They also aid in managing traffic flow around the worksite.

Overall, Tree Cutting Supplementary Plate signs are vital for promoting safety during vegetation management work, helping to minimise risks associated with tree cutting near roads.

Materials Explained

Any product outside of our standard choice of material/size range starts with a 5. This may include items such as rolls of tape, sign frames, floor graphics or banners. Below you can find a more detailed description of the miscellaneous material options available for this sign design.

Class RA1: Manufactured from 3mm aluminium composite with an engineering grade retroreflective sheeting to ensure visibility during day and night. This reflective layer helps headlights bounce light back to drivers, making the sign readable in low-light conditions and offers approximately a 7 years lifespan. Aluminium composite is a lightweight, durable material which holds no scrappage value - reducing the potential for theft. It is weather and rust resistant - overall, RA1 signs are designed to be durable, weatherproof, and highly visible to ensure the safety of road users around temporary worksites.
