Changes in TSRGD 2016

16.3
For clarity, triangular warning signs for use in temporary situations have been separated from their permanent equivalents, and are now prescribed in Part 2. These follow the same format as established for permanent warning signs.
16.4
There is no longer a restriction on when the sign to diagram 551.1 (migratory toad crossing ahead) may be placed on or near a road. Previously, the sign could only be used during the months of January to May each year.
16.5
A number of signs that are used in temporary situations, previously prescribed in Schedules 2, 4 and 12 in TSRGD 2002, have been brought together in Parts 6 and 9 of this Schedule. This includes white on blue police and census signs, black on yellow diversion and housing development signs and temporary hazard warning triangles and pyramids brought in from the revoked Traffic Signs (Temporary Obstructions) Regulations 1997.
16.6
Miscellaneous sign illustrations indicating road works have been removed. These signs remain prescribed in TSRGD 2016 by virtue of updated wording in Part 9 (the successor to regulation 53 in TSRGD 2002). Where diagrams in the TSRGD 2002 are now prescribed in Part 9, it is strongly recommended that the designs shown on working drawings are used.
