Safest way to protect pedestrians

Safest way to protect pedestrians is to provide: 
  • Separate footpaths or walkways; 
  • Pedestrian barriers at building entrances and exits to prevent pedestrians walking in front of vehicles; 
  • Traffic routes wide enough for safety where separation is not practicable; 
  • Marked traffic routes, for example lines painted on the floor or ground; 
  • Separate access ways for vehicles and pedestrians into buildings or enclosures; and
  • Vision panels in pedestrian doors entering vehicle areas. 
Workplaces where pedestrians have to cross vehicle routes should have:
  • Clearly visible ground markings and signs;
  • Clear pedestrian and vehicle visibility; and 
  • Adequate lighting.
