Warning signs

Frail or disabled pedestrians likely to cross

Frail (or blind or disabled if shown) pedestrians likely to cross road ahead

What does this sign mean?

The sign warns that older, frail or disabled pedestrians are likely to cross the road ahead, and a variant shows a person with a white cane for blind or partially sighted pedestrians. It is used near sheltered housing, day centres, hospitals and specialist schools. Slow right down, give people as long as they need to cross, and never rev the engine or edge forward to hurry them. Test questions on vulnerable pedestrians expect patience: someone who is deaf or blind may not know you are there at all.
