Pedestrians/Walkers Road signs?

Barney224

Does anyone know if there are any official road signs in Ireland to indicate there are walkers?

I know there are the standard school signs indicating children and pedestrian crossing signs, but I'm looking for so something that would be on rural roads to tell drivers there are walkers.

W140 - "Pedestrians"

Where pedestrians frequently use a road without a proper footway, Sign W 140 may be provided to warn drivers of their presence. Where the length over which pedestrians are likely to be on the road is longer than approximately250m, Supplementary Plate P 002 should be used to indicate the length.

The official Traffic Signs Manual is available online - this is the definitive source for road signs in Ireland:

Wouldn't that just be the standard conditions on every road apart from motorways and some other restricted roads?

Thanks. I didn't know this sign existed. Since this pandemic there's been a huge increase in walkers and runners where I live and it's quite rural, yet the cars/trucks never seem to take care. I would love to see some of these signs erected around the area.

Signage is not the issue.

How likely is it, do you reckon, that these idiots will suddenly start driving more appropriately if there's a few signs posted about the place?

Well it's better than nothing.
