Hazard marker signs, with their distinctive black chevrons on a white or yellow background, serve various critical functions on the road. At T-intersections or road ends, for example, these signs provide valuable information to drivers about the direction they should take, enhancing traffic flow and reducing the risk of confusion.
HIVIS takes road safety seriously. Our hazard markers are designed to stand out and be highly visible, ensuring maximum effectiveness — the combination of black chevrons on a white or yellow background maximises contrast, making the signs easily noticeable during the day and enhancing visibility at night.
Plus, we use cutting-edge reflective materials that illuminate when struck by headlights, making them highly visible in low-light conditions and adverse weather like rain or fog.

How hazard marker signs improve traffic management on Aussie roads
Efficient traffic management is crucial for avoiding congestion and ensuring the smooth flow of vehicles. By indicating safe cornering speeds, these signs encourage responsible driving and reduce the risk of accidents in areas prone to hazards — alternatively, temporary hazard markers can be used to divert traffic safely and efficiently around obstacles, e.g. roadwork or accidents.
Overall, the goal is to improve safety and minimise disruptions on Australian roads.
HIVIS hazard markers meet all Australian Road Safety Standards and have been used extensively by Transport NSW. You can count on our hazard road signs to promote safety and efficiency on roads in your local area.
