The Pedestrian Crossing Class 1 Retro Reflective road sign (W306) is a symbolic warning sign used to alert drivers that a designated pedestrian crossing is located ahead. It provides advance notice so drivers can reduce speed and prepare to stop for pedestrians if required.
Purpose and function
This sign warns drivers of a formal pedestrian crossing where pedestrian movement is expected and priority may apply. Advance warning improves compliance, reduces sudden braking, and helps lower the risk of pedestrian-related incidents.
Typical applications
- Marked pedestrian crossings on public and private roads
- Crossings near schools, commercial areas, and transport facilities
- Urban and rural locations where the crossing may not be visible until late approach
Selection and placement guidance
- Install the sign far enough in advance to allow safe deceleration
- Ensure the crossing itself is clearly marked and maintained
- Drivers should not overtake vehicles that have stopped at a pedestrian crossing
