This specification for colour for traffic control devices has been written by practitioners, with consultation and stakeholder engagement. M28 is introduced to provide written confirmation for traffic control device (TCD) colours, some that have previously been fully specified but others that have been generally accepted on an informal basis within industry until now. Thus the document aligns with current industry practices in most cases (if not nearly all).
The specification mixes detailed technical specifications, such as chromaticity coordinates, with some more simplified colour matching (Pantone® codes) to arrive at a single industry standard in an easy-to-follow document that will assist many readers to gain a better understanding of how to achieve TCD colour compliance and the reasoning why an individual specification exists.
