Whether it’s a pavement being dug up for gas works or a footpath closed off due to scaffold operations, the need to redirect pedestrian flow is non-negotiable. The Pedestrians Please Use Other Footpath sign provides a clear message to help pedestrians quickly locate safe and legal alternatives.
This roadway sign is ideal in any environment where foot traffic must be diverted. Its reflective finish keeps it visible during low-light hours or in adverse weather. Compatible with HERMEQ’s Quick Fit frame systems, the sign can be mounted securely and adjusted easily as site parameters evolve.
Use cases include:
- Urban walkway closures due to utilities or telecoms installation
- School and hospital footpath redirection during works
- Retail developments impacting pavement access
- Event management and crowd flow control setups
- Cycle lane overlaps requiring temporary pedestrian routing
The Zintec material is selected for durability—allowing the sign to be reused across multiple phases and sites. Its bold message is instantly recognisable to the public, making it an efficient tool in minimising delays, complaints, or risk exposure.
Site managers and council works supervisors benefit from deploying this sign as part of a wider pedestrian access and safety plan. It performs best when used in conjunction with directional arrows, barrier taping, and information boards that inform of alternate route length and endpoint.
Clear signage not only prevents pedestrian confusion but also supports legal compliance and professional site presentation. This model has been selected for use across high-profile urban developments and routine maintenance projects alike—highlighting its value in both scale and consistency.
Backed by HERMEQ’s reputation for non-mechanical safety solutions, this product reinforces our commitment to keeping public interfaces controlled, compliant and clearly marked. Add it to your site kit and ensure smooth, safe routing every time footpath access changes.
