Pedestrian Safe Zones within Site Hoarding
During the site set up phase this contractor established their site hoarding along a busy city centre location, which also has a live cycle lane that runs parallel with the hoarding.
This particular cycle lane is used by both cyclists and members of the public. The team recognised a risk where pedestrians are walking within close proximity of passing cyclists along this route, to reduce the potential risk of a pedestrian being hit by a bike, they introduced a number of safe zones within the site hoarding.
The safe zones are a specific enclosure within the hoarding that allows a pedestrian to step in and allow oncoming cyclists to pass freely without risk of a collision.
