Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a footway and a footpath?

In highway terms the footway is the pavement alongside a road, while a footpath is a standalone path away from the carriageway. This sign carries the roadworks wording - Footway Closed - that Chapter 8 schemes use.

Do I need an advance warning sign as well?

Good practice is to warn pedestrians before the closure so they can cross early - pair this sign with a Footpath Closed Ahead or diversion sign at the previous crossing point.

Is it compliant for streetworks?

Yes - it conforms to BS 8442:2015, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Red Book 2013 when set up to the code of practice.

How stable is it next to passing traffic?

The A-frame is wind-tested with the appropriate ballast weightings; add ready-filled sand bags or a sign ballast weight where buses and HGVs pass close.

What does it weigh and how does it store?

5.3kg each - a one-person lift - folding flat to 60mm so a stack of 50 fits on a single pallet.

Will it rust or get stolen for scrap?

No - it is fully recycled polypropylene with no metal parts, so there is nothing to rust and no scrap value.

Can I have different wording on this frame?

Yes - bespoke vinyl faces are available for the 600 x 450mm frame; send us the legend you need.
