<p>The safety device for pedestrian crossings is composed of two identical elements (1) on either side of the roadway and each formed by a column (2) which is suitable for arranging a signalling tape (4) mounted in an autoretractable manner and which supports, advantageously at a height of 2 to 10 metres, a box (3) for guiding the said tape. The two tapes (4), drawn across the roadway, each extend, as a result of the height arrangement of their guide boxes (3), in a descending line, the pair of tapes thus appearing to motorists as a signalling cross which is visible from a distance. An operating handle (5) is mounted at the free end of each tape (4) by means of removable safety assemblies. A guide means provided on the lower part of the column (2) enables the tape (4) to be returned, along the pavement, so as to block the passage of pedestrians wishing to cross. A box (3) may be surmounted by an animated device, e.g. in the form of a human, to attract the attention of motorists. <IMAGE></p> |
