This literature review examines the effectiveness of on-street pedestrian crossing signs in improving pedestrian safety in urban environments. The study synthesizes findings from research published between 2019–2024, focusing on the design, placement and impact of crossing signs. Results show that well-designed and placed signs can reduce pedestrian crashes by up to 80% in high-risk areas. Factors affecting effectiveness include sign visibility, placement, traffic conditions and road user behavior. The review highlights the importance of integrating signage with broader traffic management and urban planning systems. While sign implementation generally improves safety, challenges remain in ensuring user compliance and adaptation to diverse urban contexts. The study provides insights for urban planners and policymakers, emphasizing the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovative approaches. Areas that warrant further research include the impact of new technologies and the influence of socioeconomic factors on pedestrian safety.
