Pedestrian Crossing

Additional Details

MUTCD Section 2C.41 Nonvehicular Signs (W11-2, W11-3, W11-4, W11-6, W11-7, W11-9)
Option:,/b> Nonvehicular signs (see Figure 2C-10) may be used to alert road users in advance of locations where unexpected entries into the roadway or shared use of the roadway by pedestrians, animals, and other crossing activities might occur.

Support: These conflicts might be relatively confined, or might occur randomly over a segment of roadway.

Option: When used in advance of a crossing, Nonvehicular warning signs may be supplemented with supplemental plaques (see Section 2C.43) with the legend AHEAD, XX METERS (XX FEET), or NEXT XX km (NEXT XX MILES) to provide advance notice to road users of crossing activity.

Standard: When used at the crossing, Nonvehicular signs shall be supplemented with a diagonal downward pointing arrow (W16-7p) plaque (see Figure 2C-11) showing the location of the crossing.

Option: The crossing location may be defined with crosswalk markings (see Section 3B.17).
Pedestrian, Bicycle, and School signs and their related supplemental plaques may have a fluorescent yellow-green background with a black legend and border.

Guidance: When a fluorescent yellow-green background is used, a systematic approach featuring one background color within a zone or area should be used. The mixing of standard yellow and fluorescent yellow-green backgrounds within a selected site area should be avoided.
Nonvehicular signs should be used only at locations where the crossing activity is unexpected or at locations not readily apparent.
