Posted By Stuart Haysman Is there any guidance out there on the accepted standard colour / layout for pedestrian routes (in factories)? We have solid yellow lines to denote the walkway edges, but end up with various colours between the lines (depending on the 'natural' floor colour underneath). My previous place used white dots.... Same applies to pedestrian crossings, we use yellow or white stripes for them, leaving the natural floor to show between the stripes. What we've got now seems ok to me, but they're going to repaint the floor so now's the time to change colours if we need to! Maybe colour doesn't even matter, as long walkways are properly demarcated and visible? Stu

Posted By Descarte Signs and Signals Regs: "Where the use and equipment of rooms so requires for the protection of workers, traffic routes for vehicles must be clearly identified by continuous stripes in a clearly visible colour, preferably white or yellow, taking into account the colour of the ground." http://www.opsi.gov.uk/s...6/Uksi_19960341_en_2.htm - Publicly available I am guessing if you choose to clearly mark the routes for pedestrians instead of the routes for vehicles the same applies as long as it is clearly indicated to what purpose the route is for. If your marking routes for both vehicles and pedestrians it is probably to have them a separate colour. Strangely I cannot find in the regs specific colouring of pedestrian routes. Regards Des
