16.7
A limited number of sign illustrations for lane closures and contra-flow working at road works are illustrated at items 13 to 16 in Part 6. The central reservation symbol, previously shown on these signs as a broad black round nosed line, is no longer used. Sufficient flexibility is contained in the permitted variants to create all other sign designs hitherto prescribed, including the signs previously prescribed as diagrams 7250 to 7256 (lane drop, lane gain and lane merge).
16.8
The sign to diagram 640.1, previously prescribed as a parking meter cover, may now be used in other places where a parking place has been suspended. It may have more than one side and may be placed over a ticket machine.
16.9
TSRGD 2016 includes a requirement for temporary signs to diagrams 7032, 7014.1 and 7014 and their variants, to have a date on their reverse by which they should be removed. This is to enable any person to report to the local authority any signs that have remained in place beyond the three-month limit specified in TSRGD.
Permitted variants: "NEW ROUNDABOUT" may be varied to—

(a) "CHANGED PRIORITIES";
(b) "GAP CLOSED";
(c) "NEW ONE WAY SYSTEM";
(d) "NEW ROAD LAYOUT";
(e) "NEW TRAFFIC ISLANDS";
(f) "NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS";
(g) "NEW ZEBRA CROSSING";
(h) "SIGNAL PRIORITIES CHANGED"; or
(i) "SIGNAL TIMING CHANGED".
