Details
This Safety Zone Sign uses informational messages or images for traffic and pedestrian safety concern. A Safety Zone Sign is a useful tool to help protect the health and safety on roadways, but is not a substitute for required protective measures for eliminating or reducing hazards.
Compliance
Section 2C.119 Safety Zone Sign
Option
- The Safety Zone (NYW9-5) sign may be used to warn of pedestrian safety zones established pursuant to the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law.
Support
- Pedestrian safety zones are channelizing islands, established for pedestrian protection, where traffic may pass on either side. The Safety Zone sign is similar to function to the W12-1 sign as traffic is allowed to pass on either side of the island.
Guidance
- Where traffic must pass on one side of the pedestrian safety zone, a Keep Right (R4-7) or Keep Left (R4-8) sign should be used.
- Where used, the Safety Zone sign should be placed in the pedestrian safety zone, as close as practicable to the approach end, facing approaching traffic. It should be placed at a height of at least seven feet.
