Pedestrian Signs

Pedestrian Signs are safety signs designed to direct, inform and protect people on foot in workplaces, public spaces and traffic management areas. They help create safer environments by identifying pedestrian routes, crossings, walkways and restricted vehicle zones.

Commonly referred to as Pedestrian Route Signs, Pedestrian Crossing Signs, Walkway Signs or Pedestrian Safety Signs, they are widely used in warehouses, factories, construction sites, car parks, logistics facilities, schools and public buildings.

Manufactured in the UK, Rainbow Safety's pedestrian signs are available in self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic, aluminium and other durable materials suitable for indoor and outdoor use. These signs help improve site safety, reduce vehicle and pedestrian conflicts, and support effective traffic management procedures.
