LEARNING OUTCOMES
Be aware of and be able to: Learn to understand the role of directional signs – not
just as basic way finding tools for existing route users, but to advertise the presence of a route to new users and to enhance the experience and utility of routes.
Understand appropriate sign types for a variety of scenarios. By considering the needs of route users you will ensure that the correct signs are used.
Learn aspects of best practice – and how to avoid common mistakes.
Learn different methods for scheduling signs for correct manufacture and installation.

The Uses of Directional Signage
5 min Group Exercise
What are the direct and indirect uses of directional signage?
![Page 22: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Direct and Indirect Uses of Directional Signage
For Existing Users Way-finding. Navigating from A to B Helps us prepare for manoeuvres – letting us assume
good positioning on roads. For example signs in advance of a junction where we must cross oncoming traffic allow us to take the appropriate position on the road.
Informs us of places of interest and facilities off the route.
Speeds up journey. No need to stop to check map. No getting lost.
Creates awareness of a wider network. Even if you’re only using a short section of the route – you will see signs displaying destinations of perhaps 20 miles in either direction.
Mileages (or time) help with planning before or during a journey. May encourage people to make journeys.
For Potential Route Users Route advertising. Encouragement Good signage suggests that routes are well
maintained. Good signage suggests that the route is
current. Not some relic.
For Motorised Traffic Awareness of an on road cycle route to
motorised vehicles
![Page 23: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Poor signage leaves route users…
Frustrated and angry No one likes to be lost. Users have appointments, transport connections and hotel bookings
Facing greater risk Users may end up on busy roads due to getting lost
Busy roads used in an attempt to make up lost time
Signs are seen at the last minute – and users may be tempted to take risks to conduct a manoeuvre
Wary of using cycle routes A poor experience on one route may put a user off forever
Dissatisfied with your organisation
If the route on the ground doesn’t tally with your maps, websites and press releases, then users will be unhappy

Basic Sign AnatomyThere are two sign shapes
chevron rectangular
There are three basic sign types
Junction Junction ahead Confirmation (repeater)
![Page 28: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Signs used at junctions
These sign types require immediate action
![Page 29: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Signs indicating junction ahead. These sign prompt greater awareness and adoption of different road space.
![Page 30: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Signs confirming the route.
Used after junctions to confirm the correct route was chosen
Used at intervals between junctions where route stays on the same road.

Very close destinations don’t need distances Units are Yards and Miles Fractions up to 3 miles Measure to a centre OR to a buffer around an area Measuring distances can be time consuming – GIS can
help Time (Mins and Hours) can be used on signs but the extra
details can compromise sign design.
![Page 41: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

GIS can be used to determine distance from point to point OR between sign locations and destinations.

NCN routes use cycle and route number patch Links to the NCN use route number patch in
brackets Various symbols are available in TSRGD to convey
messages to assist route users Patches can be used to help merge signs and
reduce clutter Route names can be added

Sign face design is based on
‘x height’ Layout of text and symbols Use of multiple panels for separate destinations
Sign Face Design directly affects
Legibility Aesthetics Cost (surface area and post requirement) Durability
![Page 49: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Sign Design Software Traffic-type signs are
often designed using programs such as SignPlot or Key Signs
TSRGD rules are in-built These compile a list of
signs for manufacture. (schedule)
Calculate requirements for posts and foundations based on wind-loading
![Page 50: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Major factor governing overall size of sign. Minimum x height of 30 on road or adjacent to
road Off road there is no legal requirement x height should vary as the route varies. A single
x-height for all signs on a route may not be appropriate
Always check overall height and width of signs before manufacture
![Page 51: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Avoid long thin signs that require more than one post
Spread text across more than one line Arrange symbols under text
![Page 52: SATIN Sustrans/Cycling Scotland - Signage Course 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd64f54a79599c0a8b4723/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Create a single sign instead of two separate signs
Cheaper Less clutter

Choice and Frequency of Signs.
Busy urban areas. Advanced, Junction and confirmation signs should be used.
Quieter urban areas. Junction and confirmation signs.
Rural areas. Junction signs alone may be sufficient. Confirmation signs used at intervals.

Sign Structures.
Signs should be erected so they are clearly visible at all times.
A sign mounted at right angles to the route user is most visible.
In slow-moving environments, such as a 3-way junction on a traffic-free path, this is not essential.
Sign structures are liable to damage and to being obscured by foliage.

Sign Audits
Signage is not a desktop exercise – cycle the route
GOOD Photos for you and for installer
Better to visit site twice during the design stage, than have to reinstall signs

Working with contractors
Visit signage sites with contractor before installation
Use temporary paint or crayon to confirm sites Visit site after installation. Snagging should be
done as soon as possible If your instructions can be misinterpreted – they
probably will be!!
