No Thoroughfare - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to indicate that a particular route, path, or passage is not open for public passage or general traffic, even if it appears accessible. It serves to prevent people from entering or passing through areas that are restricted, private, or unsafe, helping to control movement and enhance safety.

You’ll commonly see this sign in places like construction sites, industrial facilities, warehouses, backstage areas, private roads, staff-only corridors, or emergency exits not meant for regular use. It is also used in event venues, transport terminals, and large buildings to restrict public access to operational or security-sensitive areas.

The main reason for using a No Thoroughfare sign is to control access and protect people from potential hazards. These hazards might include heavy machinery, falling objects, or simply being in the wrong place where visibility or traffic flow could create risk. It also supports security protocols by preventing unauthorised movement through restricted zones.

In summary, a No Thoroughfare sign is essential for guiding people away from unsafe or restricted routes. It helps ensure safe and efficient movement, prevent accidents, and maintain the integrity of controlled or private areas.
