Construction Hoarding Pedestrian Diversion Plan Dubai

When construction hoarding blocks or narrows an existing walkway, the project team should provide a clear and safe pedestrian route around the work area.

HMJ Contracting supports construction hoarding in Dubai.

1. Map the Existing Pedestrian Route

Identify where people currently walk, cross and access nearby buildings.

2. Define the Temporary Route

The diversion should be continuous, easy to understand and separated from construction activity.

3. Avoid Vehicle Conflict

Where possible, do not route pedestrians through delivery gates or plant access points.

4. Review Width and Obstructions

Check for poles, sign bases, ramps, stored material and other obstacles.

5. Add Clear Signage

Use simple directional signs before pedestrians reach the blocked area.

6. Check Visibility

Avoid blind corners created by hoarding, parked vehicles or temporary structures.

7. Consider Accessibility

Review changes in level, ramps and route continuity for users with reduced mobility.

8. Inspect the Route Daily

Conditions around construction sites change quickly, so pedestrian routes should be checked regularly.

9. Coordinate With Gate Operations

If pedestrians pass close to a vehicle gate, define a controlled movement procedure.

A well-planned diversion protects the public and reduces confusion around active construction sites.
