The Illuminated Safety Walkway is a smart, wireless solution that improves site-wide traffic management. It enables pedestrians to cross safely in environments shared with heavy plant, especially in low-light conditions.
This illuminated pathway system projects high-visibility beams onto the ground, eliminating the need for painted lines. Each unit is wirelessly controlled and installed without trenching, reducing disruption. The crossing is instantly recognisable to workers and plant operators alike, reducing the risk of incidents in mixed-access zones.
- Wireless installation avoids groundworks or downtime across live sites.
- LED-projected path eliminates reliance on physical road markings.
- Acts as a visual traffic control device for both people and plant operators.
- Safe for night use with high-lumen output and colour-coded signals.
- Can integrate optional mag-locks for controlled access usage.
Traditional pedestrian walkway solutions often rely on permanent paint markings, tape, or temporary cones—none of which provide long-term clarity, especially after repeated use or in poor lighting. The HERMEQ Illuminated Safety Walkway removes these issues entirely with a projected ground-based lighting system that clearly defines exclusion and crossing zones.
This smart traffic management tool is designed to safeguard high-risk environments such as construction compounds, logistics hubs, infrastructure works, and heavy industrial sites. The system offers all the visibility of a pelican crossing, but without the high cost or disruption associated with traditional installations. It allows site managers to deploy safe access points without obstructing vehicle routes or requiring surface modification.
The product enables clear zoning of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, helping prevent accidents, manage worker flow, and reduce liability risks. In addition, it supports both planned and reactive deployment, making it ideal for short-term events, emergency repairs, or long-term installations. Operators can opt for colour variations to signal different zone statuses—such as "in use" or "standby"—helping enhance behavioural compliance onsite.
HERMEQ stock a wide range of Crowd Control Barriers, Traffic Management Equipment, Water Filled Barriers & Road Signs conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

The HERMEQ Illuminated Safety Walkway addresses a critical gap in modern traffic management: how to provide effective and adaptable pedestrian routes on active work sites. This product replaces the need for painted lines, taped markings, or static signage by offering a dynamic LED pathway projected directly onto the surface below.
Built for demanding outdoor environments, the unit uses a robust housing to shield sensitive components. It operates using a wireless protocol that eliminates the need for trenching or surface disruption, allowing for rapid site deployment—an essential feature in high-tempo or multi-phase projects.
Ideal Applications:
- Night-time or low-visibility crossings where conventional markings are not effective.
- Industrial zones where heavy plant and pedestrians share access points.
- Temporary walkways for construction projects or civil infrastructure works.
- High-footfall events where modular pedestrian control is required.
- Emergency roadworks where fast-deploy exclusion zones are needed.
The built-in standby mode alerts approaching vehicle operators when the crossing is active. Optional magnetic locking mechanisms can be added to restrict access based on workflows, creating a controlled crossing system similar to a pelican setup, but without the cost or delay of conventional installations.
Projected colour-coded zones help operators and pedestrians navigate spaces safely. By negating the need for physical repainting or signage replacement, the system also helps lower long-term maintenance costs. It’s ideal for project managers seeking to reduce accidents and fines linked to inadequate site safety—especially in light of increasing prosecution rates and penalty values in workplace incidents.
Quick to install and easier to reconfigure, the Illuminated Safety Walkway supports compliance with the HSE’s Safe Site principles and offers immediate improvements to site coordination, workforce safety and operational flow. Designed for integration into any traffic management strategy, it works just as effectively in logistics, rail, aviation and civil infrastructure settings as it does in core construction projects.
What makes this illuminated pathway system different from painted crossings?
It uses wireless LED projection instead of paint, removing the need for surface prep or repainting while improving night-time visibility.
Can this pedestrian walkway system be installed without downtime?
Yes, installation is wireless and trench-free, meaning you can deploy the system without stopping site activity.
Is this system compliant with traffic management requirements?
Yes, it supports safe site crossing principles and helps meet UK HSE guidance on pedestrian/vehicle segregation.
Can the system signal to vehicle operators that a crossing is in use?
Yes, each side emits light cues to indicate active crossing use, improving plant operator awareness.
