Chapter 8 Pedestrian Barriers

About Chapter 8 Pedestrian Barriers

Pedestrian barriers are designed to keep public spaces safer by managing crowds, and directing and limiting foot traffic in areas with heavy footfall. By providing a physical and visual guide to both cars and pedestrians, these barriers delineate a space for each type of traffic. Designed for use as a temporary solution, barriers for pedestrians can be used in various use cases, from event management to construction sites, or even public works. Choose from various sizes, colours and styles to suit your needs.  Please note, if you are working around the public, you are required by law to meet certain regulations. Chapter 8 compliant barriers meet those regulations that make them safe for road use.

For many reasons, modern pedestrian barriers are usually built from plastic instead of the older-styled metal barriers. They're lighter and easier to carry and manage, meaning more can be carried and set up at once, while also maintaining their attention-grabbing colour for much longer. They can be set up in a range of environments, from fields to forests to highways, and cause little to no damage when hit by a car, deforming and reforming when run over, boasting a very long life span. 

The key perk of using a pedestrian barrier is its versatility. These crowd control systems can be easily set up, repositioned, and stored by a single person, making them ideal for bustling areas where the flow of people might change frequently. Their strong build means that they can withstand the varying weather conditions throughout the year as well as long-term use in public, while their design often includes features that make them easy to interlock and secure in place.
