As traffic volumes increase, drivers need to know at a glance
how to get to their destination.
Directional, wayfinding signage
assists motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, promoting safer
traffic flow. A directional sign is a valuable navigational tool
for motorists, allowing them to concentrate more on safe
driving and to avoid dangerous situations.
Lack of signage or faulty sign design can cause navigation
problems in unfamiliar environments, potentially causing
confusion and traffic accidents. Well-designed wayfinding
signage enhances traffic safety and ensures visitors will be
more inclined to return to your community in the future.
When considering the design of your wayfinding signs, keep
the following in mind: Keep it simple. Use plain language
that is easily understood. Size your messages and signs
appropriately, according to speed and viewing distances. Select
those fonts and colors that are easy to comprehend, allowing
drivers ample time to signal and to negotiate in a safe manner.
Logos can be carried
over onto other signage,
including street name
signs, points of interest
and regulatory signs.
