Warning signs

Pedestrian crossing ahead

A pedestrian crossing is ahead; slow down and be ready to stop for people crossing.

The warning is normally placed before a pedestrian crossing. Look for people approaching or using the crossing and be ready to stop.

Poland A-16 and France A13b use red-bordered triangles showing a pedestrian on crossing stripes. The United States W11-2 is a yellow or fluorescent yellow-green diamond with a walking figure. It can warn of pedestrians without indicating a marked crossing. Japan 407-A is a blue sign marking the crossing itself.

How it looks in each country

Official sign in each country; the code is its number in the national rules. Signs that come in two directions show the left and the right version.
