Pedestrians - Arrow Right - Class RA1 - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Pedestrians – Arrow Right sign is a temporary directional sign used to guide pedestrians safely around roadworks, construction zones, or other obstructions on or near footpaths. It indicates that pedestrians should divert to the right to avoid the hazard, ensuring their safety and maintaining clear, orderly foot traffic in areas where the normal route is blocked or unsafe.

This sign is typically used in urban areas, near construction sites, road maintenance zones, or events where footpaths are partially or fully closed. It is especially important in places with high pedestrian volumes, such as near schools, shopping streets, transit stations, or city centres, where safe alternative routes need to be clearly marked to prevent confusion or unsafe crossings.

The sign is placed at decision points where pedestrians need to change direction—usually at the start of a footpath closure, alongside barriers or fencing, and at junctions within temporary walkways. It helps ensure that pedestrians follow a controlled, designated path that avoids hazards and doesn’t interfere with ongoing works or vehicle traffic.

In practice, the Pedestrians – Arrow Right sign is part of a temporary pedestrian management plan, often used alongside signs like “Footpath Closed,” “Use Other Footpath,” or other directional arrows. It ensures that people on foot are safely redirected and not left guessing where to go, reducing the risk of accidents or unsafe behaviour near roadworks.

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.
