Taipei night markets use new signs to restrict vehicles
Taipei night markets use new signs to restrict vehicles
2025-11-11
Taiwan’s world-renowned night markets are frequented by locals and tourists alike, but pedestrians often compete with vehicles on their crowded streets. Hoping to tackle this issue, the Taipei City Government has rolled out new traffic signs that have already been set up at26 night markets. The signs are painted white so people can see them clearly, diverting traffic from the night market so visitors can peruse stalls with peace of mind.
As soon as the night market opens, white traffic signs are moved to its entrance, restricting vehicles from entering. These new signs are much more visible than the old red and gray ones that would blend into the background. They clearly mark the night market as a pedestrian-only area, restricting vehicles and allowing visitors to stroll at their leisure.

I saw this sign as soon as I got out of the subway. It’s very clear in bright white. I didn’t really notice the signs when visiting the night market before, and there were bound to be some scooters. But it seems that there aren’t as many after these signs were set up.

If the traffic signs are set up, it feels more like an area where people can walk. It also reminds others not to ride scooters inside the night market.
Raohe Night Market now puts these signs at its front and rear entrances when it’s open, reminding vehicles that it’s a pedestrian-only area during that time. It even puts traffic signs at the intersection connecting to the Rainbow Bridge so that people can enjoy both attractions with peace of mind.

By setting up uniform barricades, we hope that people can clearly understand they have entered a safe, pedestrian-only space. Through this approach we hope to provide a better pedestrian environment for night market visitors.
A total of 26 night markets have begun using these new traffic signs provided by the Taipei City Government, including the Raohe, Huaxi Street, and Shilin night markets. Highly visible in white and blue, they allow people to stroll among the stalls without having to compete with vehicles for space.

打造行人友善空間 北市26夜市加入統一改道牌行列
2025-11-11
台灣夜市遠近馳名，除了國人愛逛，外國旅客也愛逛。但夜市常常人車爭道，讓行人走得不是很安心。台北市政府就推出新型改道牌，白色塗裝，更好辨識，目前全北市已經有26個夜市採用，預計能讓市容更美觀統一，也能讓用路人見到牌子，就逛得更放心。
夜市營業時間一到，立刻有專人，把改道牌搬出來。仔細看這全新的改道牌，和以往的完全不一樣。舊改道牌白鐵加上紅字，容易隱身夜色之中。新版塗上亮眼白色，更寫明禁止車輛通行。讓遊客逛起夜市，能夠更安心。

“剛才從捷運站走過來，一眼就有看到這個牌子，我覺得亮亮白色的蠻顯眼的，因為以往我們在逛夜市的時候，好像都不太會去注意到，難免就會有機車啊什麼的，但現在看起來好像，擺了之後這個車子，就比較不會那麼多。”

“如果有改道牌放出來的話，我覺得好像比較人可以走的感覺，然後也會有可能提醒其他人，汽機車不要騎進來。”
饒河夜市前後入口，都設有改道牌，提醒騎士、車主，行人徒步時間到，先別進出！這次更在夜市連結彩虹橋的路口，也放上兩個改道牌，串聯兩處景點，旅客能安心的，邊吃邊賞，河岸風光。

“透過這個設定統一形式的拒馬，讓市民能夠比較清楚的知道說，在這個時間裡面，他已經進到一個，比較安全的一個漫步區的空間，希望透過這樣子的一個方式，提升這個夜市人潮及遊客的，一個步行環境品質”
包含饒河夜市在內，華西街、士林夜市等共26個夜市，都統一使用了市府提供的這個新型改道牌，增加辨識度的同時，也要讓行人知道，看到牌子，就代表走在這裡，不用擔心。
