Iron Pedestrian Crossing Sign: Safety and Compliance

Ensuring the safety of pedestrians and motorists is essential. The road danger sign "Pedestrian Crossing" (Figure 13) is an indispensable element for every road, compliant with the current regulations of the Highway Code. Made of sturdy boxed iron and with Class 1 reflective film, this triangular sign with a 90 cm side guarantees excellent visibility and durability, effectively warning of the presence of a pedestrian crossing.

Maximum Visibility with Class 1

Our "Pedestrian Crossing" sign is equipped with Class 1 (RA1) reflective film. This standard ensures clear and sufficient visibility in normal or daytime street lighting conditions, making it ideal for secondary urban and suburban contexts. Its triangular shape with vertex facing upwards and standard colours (white background, black pictogram, red border) make it easy to immediately recognise it as a warning sign.

Durable Materials for Every Environment

The sturdy 10/10 mm thick boxed iron sheet, finished with a cut-resistant bent edge, gives the sign superior rigidity and resistance to weathering and wear. These features make it a reliable and durable choice for permanent road markings, even in high-traffic areas or exposed to severe weather conditions.
