What are pedestrian walkways?

What are the main types of pedestrian walkways?

At Davis Track Hire, we understand the importance of safe and accessible pedestrian walkways across various locations. As specialists in temporary ground protection solutions, we provide tailored systems that ensure pedestrians can get from A to B safely, even in challenging conditions.

Here’s a look at the main types of pedestrian walkways:

  1. Event and festival walkways: Temporary paths for festivals, outdoor concerts, or sporting events.  
  2. Construction walkways: Safe pedestrian routes around or through construction sites.  
  3. Emergency or temporary detours: Rerouting pedestrians during roadworks, building repairs, or infrastructure upgrades.  
  4. Outdoor event paths in grass or soft ground: These paths prevent damage to lawns, parks, or heritage sites during events.  
  5. Accessible walkways: Temporary paths for wheelchairs, strollers, or those with mobility challenges. 
  6. Heritage (Grade 1 or 2 listed) and environmentally sensitive areas: Allowing pedestrian access while preserving fragile ecosystems or historical grounds. 
  7. Industrial Site Walkways: Pedestrian routes in manufacturing plants, warehouses, or logistics hubs during maintenance or renovations.
