Temporary Pedestrian Separation & Guidance
Create clear pedestrian routes, separate people from work areas and manage temporary layouts with systems suited to different site, handling, fencing and layout requirements.

Pedestrian Separation for Real Site Conditions
From temporary walkways to restricted work areas and changing event layouts, see where different pedestrian separation setups are commonly used.
Plan the Route Before Choosing a System
Before comparing systems, establish where pedestrians need to move, what they need to be separated from and what conditions the temporary route needs to accommodate.
01 — Where do pedestrians need to go?
Before comparing systems, define the route, surrounding activity and site conditions. These five checks help establish the type of pedestrian separation required.
02 — What are pedestrians being separated from?
Map where the route starts and finishes, including corners, crossings, entrances, openings and any access that needs to remain available.
03 — Who needs to use the route?
Identify nearby work areas, vehicle movements, equipment or restricted zones. This helps determine whether guidance, fencing or another control is required.
04 — What are the site conditions?
Review the surface, slopes, kerbs, drainage, available space, visibility and lighting, and confirm any site-specific approvals or requirements before finalising the layout.
05 — What Site or Compliance Requirements Apply?
Confirm any site-specific requirements, approvals or applicable standards before finalising the layout, particularly where the application is safety-critical.
What Influences the Right Setup on Site?
Different sites have different demands. Route shape, handling needs, fencing or accessories, and whether low-profile guidance is enough will help determine which systems are suitable.
Straight or Flexible Layout?
Is your pedestrian route mostly straight, or does it need to follow curves, corners or changing directions across the site?
High Mass or Easy Handling?
Some sites need greater mass and stability. Others need lighter systems that are easier to move and reposition.
Fencing or Accessories?
Do you need mesh fencing, signs, lights or other supported accessories? This can narrow the suitable options straight away.
Low-Profile Guidance?
Would a low-profile solution be enough for clear guidance and layout control, or do you need a standard-height system?
Not sure which requirements matter?
If your site has specific layout, fencing, access or project requirements, tell us about the project and we’ll help narrow down the right option.
Compare Pedestrian Separation Systems
Compare the systems relevant to this application by route profile, handling, fencing and accessory support. Site conditions and the required type of separation should be established before final selection.

Temporary Pedestrian Separation FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about planning temporary pedestrian routes, choosing suitable systems and preparing for a project.
Not always. Some applications only need clear visual guidance and separation, while others benefit from a system that can support fencing or mesh. If fencing is required, choose a product specifically suited to that configuration and check the relevant product details before specifying the system.
They can be used for pedestrian guidance and separation in suitable low-speed or controlled environments, but ordinary delineators should not be treated as vehicle-containment systems. Where tested vehicle containment is required, a purpose-designed system such as SHIELD I should be considered instead.
Flexible connected systems such as the KI Series are better suited to layouts that need to follow curves, corners or changing directions. TM-600 can also suit more flexible layouts, while TM-700 is better suited to straight continuous runs.
Start with the total length of the route or separation run, then compare it with the effective connected length of the product you are considering. For longer or more complex layouts, Barrier Systems can help confirm quantities and suitable product selection before ordering.
Useful information includes the application, approximate run length or quantity required, whether fencing or mesh is needed, whether the route is straight or curved, relevant site conditions, and delivery location or timing requirements. This helps narrow the product choice and prepare a more useful project response.
