Caution Pedestrians Sound Horn 5 mph Speed Limit Signs
Caution Pedestrians Sound Horn 5mph Speed Limit Signs combine pedestrian warning, horn instruction and speed control in one sign. They help you guide drivers, protect people on foot and reduce confusion around yards, entrances, loading bays and shared site traffic routes.
Where Caution Pedestrians Sound Horn 5mph Signs Should Be Positioned
You should install these signs at site entrances, yard approaches, loading bay access points, warehouse doorways and internal traffic routes where vehicles meet people on foot. Place them before the risk point, not after it, so drivers have time to slow down, sound their horn and watch for pedestrians.
Practical Viewing Distance Guidance
For a 300 x 500 mm sign, aim for clear visibility from around 8–15 metres in slower vehicle areas. Use closer placement near doors, blind corners and gates, and allow longer approach visibility where drivers need time to brake, react and follow the 5mph instruction safely.
Expected Behaviour Changes After Installing These Signs
After installation, the sign should help drivers make three safer decisions before entering pedestrian areas: reduce speed, make their vehicle presence known and stay alert for people crossing or working nearby.
