Pedestrian rails are essential safety features designed to guide and protect foot traffic in various public spaces. Roadway Specialties has constructed pedestrian rails for the State of Texas for a variety of uses including – to provide a secure barrier that prevents pedestrians from accessing hazardous areas, such as the edges of walkways, bridges, and elevated platforms.
Pedestrian rails are equipped with rub rails and handrails to offer additional support and stability, especially beneficial for children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. These rails are commonly installed in locations such as parks, public squares, sidewalks, and pedestrian bridges, where they delineate safe walking zones and prevent accidental falls or straying into traffic. Pedestrian rails play a vital role in infrastructure and promoting safety.
