Managing pedestrian safety during works is as important as controlling vehicle flow. The Footpath Closed sign is a temporary traffic sign that clearly informs pedestrians that a walking route is no longer accessible. This proactive communication helps prevent confusion, deters unauthorised access, and promotes safe foot traffic management across all site conditions.
Manufactured with a Zintec plate base and overlaid with 3M engineering or high-intensity reflective sheeting, the sign remains visible in varied lighting conditions. It is available as a standalone plate or with HERMEQ’s Quick Fit frame, offering maximum flexibility for changing worksite layouts and shifting pedestrian routes.
- Supports pedestrian redirection - Helps guide public away from unsafe zones.
- Instantly recognisable message - Prevents misunderstandings and improves site control.
- High visibility reflective sheeting - Clear in both day and night conditions.
- Robust Zintec steel - Built to last through repeated use and adverse weather.
- Compatible with HERMEQ frame systems - Easy to position and adjust onsite.
This roadway sign is particularly effective in high footfall areas such as urban streets, school routes, and public events where rapid changes in pedestrian access may occur.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Traffic Signs, Traffic Management Equipment, Quick Fit Signs & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

When temporary works obstruct walkways or footpaths, it's critical to provide clear, unambiguous warnings to pedestrians. The Footpath Closed sign achieves just that, using a strong visual message to keep foot traffic away from potentially hazardous areas. It also gives contractors and local authorities a reliable tool to manage footfall safely and professionally.
This sign can be deployed rapidly during reactive maintenance works, planned infrastructure upgrades, or emergency closures. Its compact form allows it to be set up in tight urban spaces, while the Quick Fit frame compatibility enables fast relocation or height adjustment as site layouts evolve.
Its reflective surface enhances visibility during low-light conditions, helping to prevent accidents or misinterpretation at night or in poor weather. Built from Zintec steel, it withstands the wear and tear of repeated site use, including exposure to construction dust, rain, and foot traffic proximity.
Examples of typical deployment include:
- City centre walkway closures for pipe, fibre or ducting works
- Pedestrian detours during road resurfacing projects
- Public event setups requiring partial access restrictions
- Emergency infrastructure repairs affecting crossing points
- School zone works requiring temporary safe routing
When positioned correctly, this sign reduces liability and enhances compliance with pedestrian safety protocols. It provides a clear indication that pedestrians must take an alternative route and supports other signage such as diversion arrows, safety barriers, and access guidance panels.
Choosing the Footpath Closed sign from HERMEQ ensures a high standard of site presentation and functional clarity. It integrates seamlessly into temporary signage arrays and can be combined with traffic road signs and temporary traffic sign elements for a unified safety strategy.
From high-volume urban corridors to rural paths near active roadworks, this sign has proven effective across diverse B2B settings. Its reliability, simplicity, and robust build make it a must-have for any contractor or authority dealing with temporary pedestrian control.
