Corner Marshall

At a road corner the RL indicates to next rider behind where a CM is needed.
The CM should be positioned 50-100mtrs from the actual corner in order to give following riders sufficient warning of an upcoming turn.
NOTE: This may not always be possible due to road conditions etc. The RL will ultimately decide where the CM should be placed, based on the prevailing conditions.
The next rider stops and activates their indicator for the direction of riders to turn.
The CM may also indicate the directions using their arm.
Ensure the use of the arm and indicator are the same direction.
If you ride a Trike or a Spyder and the CM position is likely to cause an issue or embarrassment to yourself or other road users indicate to the next rider to take up the CM position.
If you think the RL has missed a corner, then use initiative and become the CM.
Stay on the corner until you see TEC approaching.
Re-join the ride in front of TEC if safe to do so.
If not safe re-join the ride, wave the TEC through, and re-join behind the TEC, when it is safe to re-enter the traffic. The TEC will then wave you past when safe.
Each time a CM re-joins the ride in front of TEC, it is this rider’s responsibility to keep the TEC headlights in their rear mirrors until the next CM re-joins. This is to ensure the safety of the TEC.
