The message
It reads "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath". Blue circle means "you must". It is an instruction, not advice.
Putting it up
Wherever people choose a direction, facing the way they arrive. Walk or drive the route yourself and put a sign at every point where you had to think about which way to go.
Sizing your footpath closed please use other footpath sign printing comes down to distance. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.
A route that works on the site plan does not always work at the gate. Signs fill the gap.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 want traffic routes planned so people on foot and vehicles can both move safely, and direction signs are how everyone knows the plan.

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.
| Size | Readable 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 footpath closed please use other footpath sign printing.
Which size of Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath 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 "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath"?
ISO 7010 has nothing specific to this message, so the sign uses the general mandatory action symbol, M001, alongside the text.
Where is the best place to put the "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath" sign?
Put it wherever people choose a direction: junctions, gates and turns, facing the people who need the instruction. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.
Is there a legal rule behind the Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath sign?
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 expect site traffic routes to be organised so people on foot and vehicles move safely. In practice that means clear direction signs. For the "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath" sign, your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.
Is the price shown for the "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath" sign the full price?

Will the Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath sign survive outdoors?
Yes, if you order it in Dibond or Correx; both cope with rain. Foamex is better kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Pick the material in the options before you order.
Why is the Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath sign in these colours?

Dibond, Foamex or Correx: which should we pick for a Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign?
Decide by where "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath" 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.

Rough reading distances for "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath": about 12 m for A3 landscape, 17 m for A2 landscape or 24 m for A1 landscape.

Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What message is a Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign giving?

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.

For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. On its opening option, Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Can the wording on a Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign be changed, or our logo added?
Yes.

Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm). Material choices for Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
What thickness is the Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
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: Footpath Closed Sign and Diversion Arrow Up 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign starts from £27.52.
Will a Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
Rain is rarely the problem for "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath"; 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.
What is the easiest way to put up a Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign?
To mount "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath" 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 Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath 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. On its opening option, Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Do we legally have to display a Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign?
Your risk assessment answers that one for "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath". 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 M001.
Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?
No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath 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 Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign starts from £27.52.
Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?
Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs.

The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?
Foamex can, Dibond will not. A big, thin Foamex board warms up in direct sun and may bow, especially with fixings only at the corners. Dibond has aluminium faces and keeps its shape, so it is the sensible pick for a long-term outdoor sign. With Foamex, more fixings across a flat wall, or a thicker board, helps it stay straight. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Could the Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?
Start with the position: eye level, on the push side or on the wall next to the frame, so the message is still visible with the door open. Fix it with double-sided foam tape or screws. A 3mm Foamex board on foam tape also sits well on a flat door. On a fire door, get the go-ahead from whoever looks after the building before any screws go in. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

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 "Footpath Closed Please Use Other Footpath" 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.
