Pedestrians Please Use Other Footway - TSRGD Diagram: 7018 - Pedestrian Diversion / Pedestrians Use Other Footway Road Signs

Direct foot traffic away from areas that are unsafe or under construction. Its primary purpose is to prevent pedestrians from entering hazardous zones, such as worksites, areas with moving machinery, or sections of a walkway that are temporarily obstructed, ensuring their safety.

This sign is typically placed at the start of the affected footway or along the boundary of a work area. Positioning it where pedestrians naturally approach ensures they are informed in advance and can choose an alternative, safe route without entering dangerous areas.

It is particularly important in environments such as construction sites, roadworks, or maintenance zones where the usual walkway is compromised. By guiding pedestrians to a safe alternative, the sign helps reduce the risk of trips, falls, collisions, or interference with ongoing work.

Using this sign alongside barriers, cones, or temporary fencing enhances control of pedestrian movement. Proper placement ensures that pedestrians are safely rerouted, maintaining both public safety and the efficiency of work activities.
