Overview

This warning sign puts the information right where people are looking for it. Typical homes for it are public buildings, warehouses, shops and offices. Our caution pedestrians sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.

Putting it up

At eye height, right where people have to act on it. Put signs where people on foot and vehicles meet, and at blind corners.

Before you order caution pedestrians sign printing, think about how far away people will be. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.

What the sign says

It reads "Caution Pedestrians". Yellow triangle, black border: the shape everyone reads as "watch out". The CAUTION heading tells people to watch out; the line beneath says for what.

Boards for caution pedestrians sign printing

Our caution pedestrians sign printing comes on three kinds of board:

  • 3.5mm Correx, the fluted plastic board: light, waterproof and cheap to replace, which is why it is the site-sign favourite
  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years

Correx for temporary jobs, Foamex for indoors, Dibond for anything staying outside for years.

Keep routes for people and vehicles apart wherever the site allows it.

Keep people on foot and vehicles apart where you can, and warn both where you cannot: that is the line taken by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and HSE guidance on workplace transport.

Got artwork? Upload it. No artwork? Use the online designer, or our paid artwork service (1 design, 2 rounds of changes). Either way a person looks over the file first, free. Every caution pedestrians sign printing order is made to order and dispatched from the UK. We charge £7.95 to send it anywhere on the UK mainland, and nothing once your goods come to £100 or more after discounts. The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

Also worth a look: site traffic signs and everything in site, traffic & hoarding signs. Stuck on the choice? Our guide to safety sign colours helps.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm)12 m
A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm)17 m
A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about caution pedestrians sign printing.

Which size of Caution Pedestrians sign can be read from across the room or yard?

Measure the distance first, then match it: 12 m calls for A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), 17 m calls for A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) and 24 m calls for A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.

Is there a standard pictogram that says "Caution Pedestrians"?

ISO 7010 has nothing specific to this message, so the sign uses the general warning symbol, W001, alongside the text.

Where do I fix the Caution Pedestrians sign?

For "Caution Pedestrians", the usual spot is at the crossing point, facing the drivers and the walkers who meet there. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Is there a legal rule behind the Caution Pedestrians sign?

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and HSE guidance on workplace transport expect people on foot and vehicles to be kept apart where possible. Where they do meet, people should be warned. For the "Caution Pedestrians" sign, your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.

Is anything added to the price of the "Caution Pedestrians" sign at checkout?

Only delivery, where it applies. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. The £27.52 starting price for the "Caution Pedestrians" sign is the full price of the goods. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

Can I buy more than one Caution Pedestrians sign?

Yes, change the quantity before you check out; every sign is made to order. Need a big mix of different signs for a school, club or site? Use the Get a quote page. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) and 3.5mm Correx, the Caution Pedestrians Sign comes to £27.52. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £27.52 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of the Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £27.52 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Allow 5 working days on Saver, 3 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Caution Pedestrians Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Which artwork services are offered with the Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

Dibond, Foamex or Correx: which should we pick for a Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Decide by where "Caution Pedestrians" is going and how long it has to last. Staying outside for years, or somewhere busy where it may get knocked? 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, with metal skins, is the tough one. Indoors or under a porch? 3mm Foamex gives a light, smooth board. Only needed outside for a few weeks, say on a fence? Go for 3.5mm Correx, which weighs little and shrugs off rain.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) costs from £27.52; at the top, A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) costs from £54.24. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.

Which size of the Caution Pedestrians Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Caution Pedestrians": about 12 m for A3 landscape, 17 m for A2 landscape or 24 m for A1 landscape. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

What message is a Caution Pedestrians Sign giving?

Start with the symbol on "Caution Pedestrians". W001 is the ISO 7010 pictogram for general warning sign, so even someone without much English gets the gist at a glance. The design follows the warning sign pattern (a black-edged yellow triangle), used to flag up a hazard. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: a yard, a farm or a building job where vans and people share the route.

How much does an A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) sign cost?

From £36.41, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £36.41, 3mm Foamex at £42.91 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?

You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end. Delivery is charged per order, not per sign: £7.95 to the UK mainland, or free once the goods come to £100 or more. For "Caution Pedestrians" the sizes are A3 landscape, A2 landscape and A1 landscape. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Caution Pedestrians Sign begin at £27.52, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £27.52 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?

Each price on the page is for a single sign in the size and material chosen. Put the number you want in the box beside Add to basket and the total multiplies. For a different size or material, add it as a separate line; the basket keeps them apart. An artwork fee is charged once per line, whatever the quantity, and choosing to reuse the artwork from another item in your basket costs nothing more. Very large runs can go through Get a quote. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

How much for the biggest size, A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm)?

From £54.24, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £54.24, 3mm Foamex at £63.13 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2.

Our event is close. Can the Caution Pedestrians Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the Caution Pedestrians Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £36.71, where Saver is £27.52 and takes 5 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) layout wants about 9,933 by 7,016 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

Can the wording on a Caution Pedestrians Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Caution Pedestrians" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for the Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

What thickness is the Caution Pedestrians Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

That depends on the board you tick: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 3 mm and Dibond at 3 mm. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Caution Pedestrians Crossing Sign and Warning Pedestrians Have Priority Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Will a Caution Pedestrians Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Caution Pedestrians"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Correx is waterproof and suits temporary outdoor use. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Caution Pedestrians Sign in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. Pick Correx, Foamex or Dibond and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What is the easiest way to put up a Caution Pedestrians Sign?

To mount "Caution Pedestrians" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. The Correx version is simplest cable tied to a fence or fixed to a post. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Does the material change the price of the Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.58, 3mm Foamex at £32.83 and 3.5mm Correx at £27.52. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Do we legally have to display a Caution Pedestrians Sign?

Your risk assessment answers that one for "Caution Pedestrians". Where it shows a risk still remains after other steps, the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations say an employer must signpost it, and that applies to a cafe with two staff as much as a factory. Signs back up the other measures you take; they are never a substitute for them. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W001.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Caution Pedestrians Sign to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

How do I work out how many Caution Pedestrians signs to order?

Picture someone arriving for the first time. Every door they could come through, every approach to the risk and every corner where the route bends is a place for a sign. Large sites and long corridors usually need repeats, with bigger versions where people read from a distance. Put matching signs on a single basket line and raise the quantity; different sizes or materials go on lines of their own. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Can the Caution Pedestrians Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

Yes. Choose the typesetting option (£15) and send us the words in every language you want on it. That covers one first draft and two rounds of changes. We lay out the text exactly as you supply it but we do not translate, so have the translation done first. Leave the symbol and colours as they are, so the meaning is clear whichever language someone reads. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).

Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order the Caution Pedestrians Sign. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.

What if A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) is still too small for the Caution Pedestrians Sign?

We can still help. Put the size you need, the material and the quantity into the quote request form and we will send a price. For reference, the listed range ends at A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), and that size costs £54.24 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order.

Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?

Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins and needs a fine-toothed saw. Drill slowly with a standard bit and stay at least 10 mm from any edge. Any cutting removes some of the bleed, so plan the layout with that in mind. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What is the safest way to clean this sign?

Treat "Caution Pedestrians" gently: a soft cloth and soapy warm water, a rinse, then a dry. Strong cleaners, solvents and scourers can take the shine off the print or lift it, so leave them in the cupboard. Store spares flat, not leaning, to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
