Footpath Closed Ahead quick-fit sign face
The Footpath Closed Ahead sign gives pedestrians early notice that the footway in front of them is shut, so they can cross or divert before they reach the works. The white-on-red face is printed on RA1 engineering grade prismatic sheeting over a 3mm plastic backing, conforms to Chapter 8 and The Red Book, and is made in the UK. It is supplied as the face only - quick-fit frames are sold separately.
Key features
-
Advance pedestrian warning - white Footpath Closed Ahead legend on a red background, placed before the closure point.
-
RA1 reflective - Class 1 engineering grade prismatic sheeting, the grade used on lower-speed roads such as urban streets and local routes.
-
3mm plastic backing - a 600mm x 450mm face with 300mm hole centres for mini quick-fit frames.
-
No scrap value - non-metallic construction makes it a poor target for theft from site.
-
Made in the UK - manufactured to Chapter 8 and The Red Book requirements.
Where it is used
- Ahead of footway repairs and street works
- Pedestrian diversions in city centres and on residential streets
- Utility and construction works that close the footway
- Lower-speed roads where RA1 reflectivity is specified
Pairing with the Footpath Closed sign
This face works ahead of the closure, not at it. Place it in advance so people on foot have time to cross safely or take the diversion, and use a Footpath Closed sign at the closure point itself. For siting and spacing, follow government guidance on temporary pedestrian signing.
