Visit FAQ Section 📖The Children Crossing Sign – W 142 is a vital safety warning used across Ireland to alert motorists of locations where children are likely to cross the road. These areas include school zones, playgrounds, sports grounds, and residential estates. The W 142 sign prompts drivers to slow down, heighten their awareness, and be prepared to stop suddenly if necessary.
This diamond-shaped yellow sign features a silhouette of a child running with a car nearby, symbolising the unpredictable movements of young pedestrians. It is specifically designed to visually communicate urgency and caution—particularly important where child safety is concerned.
As outlined in Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), this warning sign plays a key role in reducing road traffic accidents involving minors by improving driver behaviour in high-risk areas.
Rennicks manufactures the W 142 Children Crossing Sign to the highest regulatory and performance standards. Designed for both permanent and semi-permanent use, the sign is available in multiple formats to suit diverse road environments—from rural school approaches to busy urban side streets.
