Pedestrians Prohibited - Class RA1 - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

An important safety measure used to restrict pedestrian access in areas where it could be dangerous or disruptive. Its primary purpose is to clearly communicate that walking is not allowed beyond a certain point, protecting pedestrians from hazards and preventing them from entering spaces designed exclusively for vehicles or machinery. This sign plays a vital role in reducing the risk of accidents involving pedestrians in potentially unsafe environments.

One of the most common places where the Pedestrians Prohibited RA1 sign is used is on high-speed roads and motorways. These roads are designed for fast-moving vehicles and lack safe walkways for pedestrians. By prohibiting pedestrian access, the sign helps to eliminate the risk of pedestrians being struck by vehicles, ensuring that both drivers and walkers stay safe. It also helps keep traffic flowing smoothly by avoiding unexpected pedestrian crossings.

The sign is also frequently placed around construction and maintenance zones, where the presence of heavy equipment, open trenches, or uneven surfaces can pose serious dangers. These work areas often require a complete separation between vehicles, workers, and pedestrians to maintain safety standards. The Pedestrians Prohibited sign serves as a clear warning that pedestrians should use alternative routes to avoid the hazardous zone.

Finally, the Pedestrians Prohibited RA1 sign is used in places like tunnels, underpasses, and certain industrial or private sites where pedestrian access is either impractical or unsafe. These locations may have no sidewalks, poor lighting, or other conditions that make walking dangerous. Using this sign helps enforce safety regulations and ensures that pedestrians remain in designated safe areas, reducing the risk of accidents and maintaining order in controlled environments.

Materials Explained

Any product outside of our standard choice of material/size range starts with a 5. This may include items such as rolls of tape, sign frames, floor graphics or banners. Below you can find a more detailed description of the miscellaneous material options available for this sign design.

Class RA1: Manufactured from 3mm aluminium composite with an engineering grade retroreflective sheeting to ensure visibility during day and night. This reflective layer helps headlights bounce light back to drivers, making the sign readable in low-light conditions and offers approximately a 7 years lifespan. Aluminium composite is a lightweight, durable material which holds no scrappage value - reducing the potential for theft. It is weather and rust resistant - overall, RA1 signs are designed to be durable, weatherproof, and highly visible to ensure the safety of road users around temporary worksites.
