No Pedestrian Crossing sign

What to do

Pedestrians should use the designated crossing. Drivers should still watch for people who cross anyway.

Even though this sign tells pedestrians not to cross, keep watching for people who cross anyway, especially near schools and bus stops.

Where it's used

Section 2B.57 allows the No Pedestrian Crossing sign to prohibit pedestrians from crossing at an undesirable location, or in front of a school or public building where no crossing is designated; the sign must face pedestrian approaches. It is a white square with a black walking figure under a red circle and slash, and a NO PEDESTRIAN CROSSING word version (R9-3a) is an alternate. A USE CROSSWALK (R9-3bP) plaque with an arrow may be added to show where to cross.

Don't confuse it with

• Pedestrian Warning: The yellow Pedestrian Warning diamond warns drivers of a crossing, while No Pedestrian Crossing tells pedestrians not to cross here.
• Crosswalk Markings: Crosswalk markings show where pedestrians are expected to cross; this sign marks a place where they are not allowed to.
• No Bicycles: No Bicycles excludes bicyclists from a road, while this sign only bans pedestrians crossing at that spot.
