Directional signs

Directional signage helps people to get to where they’re going, they are wildly used in public spaces. It’s an invisible hand guiding people from wherever they are to their destination. They’re best used at junctions and areas without a clear traffic flow.

Anyone unfamiliar with their surroundings benefits from diverse directional signage. It can be as simple as a plaque at each junction sending people left or right. Or, it may be as comprehensive as colored lines on the floor leading people directly to their destination.

Continuity is key for directional signage. If a person becomes lost anywhere between two points using directional signage, it’s immediately invalidated. Picking up the trail again means backtracking or getting lucky.

General examples of directional signs

• Junction signage (traffic lights etc.)
• Colored lines on the floor (keep on the queue etc.)
• Directory signage (number of floors, door where to find the reception)
