380 Where necessary, you should provide barriers or rails to prevent pedestrians
from crossing at particularly dangerous points and to direct them to the crossing
places. Similarly, you can use deterrent paving to guide pedestrians to the crossing
points.
381 Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers should be able to see clearly in all directions
at crossing points.
382 At busy crossing places, you should consider traffic lights, zebra crossings (or
other types of crossing), or suitable bridges or subways as a way of segregating
pedestrians from moving vehicles.
Figure 19 ‘Pedestrian crossing’ sign
383 A standard warning sign to show a pedestrian crossing is included in The
Highway Code. 13 It should be used in workplaces wherever appropriate. See Signs,
signals and markings in paragraphs 393-402 for more information.
384 Where vehicle roadways are particularly wide, you may need to consider
‘island’ refuges to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross the road in stages. In
some cases, subways or footbridges could be necessary.
