New signs located around Redmond's Downtown Pedestrian District communicate to drivers they are in an area where they can expect higher volumes of people walking.

Designed in-house by the City's graphic artist, Sergio "Checho" Santander, each sign has one of three different representations - a young child pedestrian, a mother pushing a stroller, or a man walking a dog.  Each figure is a subtle reminder of the potential vulnerability of pedestrians in traffic.
