I was cleaning some pub carpets other day in local town, parked on a wide pedestrian area outside pub, placed hose under ramp, and placed cones over 4' of hoses.

While having a coffee and ciggie break with landlord outside, i noticed that only 1 in 5 would actualy walk over ramp. The rest tried to squeeze between cones, or walk 20 yards around van.

So much for keeping to H & S

same here andrew, the only people that use the ramp are kids on bmx's

Had a girl on a bike, mid 20's got off and picked bike up and carried it over  :

All to often we found that pedestrians were walking around the ramp or van. Kids used to love it though on their bikes.

I find exactly the same, the extend of human stupidity knows no bounds!

Same as you on a wide path Andrew, I watched an OAP walk up to my ramp, step sideways, pick up her little shopping trolley and step over the HOSES.  I felt like giving them a sharp tug just as she was doddering over

Funny though, today two people walked past with their dogs and the people walked over the ramps but the dogs both walked round it!  Maybe doggies don't like the yellow/black combo!

Same here. Many times I park the van so you have to direct yourself to the ramp.  I then put safety signs around it, yet people still do everything they can to avoid the ramp.  I thought it was just me that noticed this.

People are probably worried a hairy arsed carpet cleaner would shout at them for standing on their equipment
