Pedestrians in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 544.1 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Pedestrians in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 544.1 is a mandatory UK road sign designed to alert drivers of areas where pedestrians may be walking on or crossing the carriageway. This is especially important where there are no footpaths, or in areas near schools, rural lanes, shopping zones, and parks.
Constructed in accordance with TSRGD Diagram 544.1, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this warning sign ensures high performance and durability. Manufactured using aluminium, composite, or sticker-based substrates, it’s finished with RA2 or R3B reflective sheeting to remain visible in both daytime and night driving conditions.
Available in all standard UK triangular sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and supplied with channel rail fixings, plate-only options, or self-adhesive backing, this sign is ideal for both permanent roadside installations and temporary pedestrian hazard warnings.
🔧 Technical Review
This sign features a black silhouette of an adult holding a child’s hand, centred within the classic red-bordered triangle. The icon is universally recognised as a pedestrian hazard warning, guiding drivers to reduce speed and remain alert.
