Every job site must have specific safety signs to make sure that pedestrians, workers, and drivers are away from dangerous areas and maintaining the path that is best for their traffic needs. Our sidewalk closed signs can be fabricated according to MUTCD requirements, or we can create custom signs that match a message you’re trying to send to others.
Sidewalk closed signs are a type of sign typically used in construction zones, though it may be used by municipalities and landowners as well. It is a safety issue for pedestrians and bikers, while also keeping people away from construction equipment so that the project can continue onward.
These signs can also act as directional signage, showing people where they should go instead to keep traffic moving. In NYC, especially, these signs are incredibly important because of the high numbers of pedestrians and tourists that travel in very confined space around the city. Overall, they are an important type of city sign and construction sign found throughout NY and NJ.
