Specializes in wayfinding sign system planning

Successful wayfinding planning can bring awareness to local retail districts, historical areas, and other landmarks that are unique to a town or metropolitan area. Vehicular wayfinding signs help influence desired traffic circulation patterns and aid motorists in efficiently identifying public parking areas and can aid in creating safer driving conditions by providing clear directions at strategic locations, thus reducing driver confusion and distraction while traveling busy streets.

A wayfinding system has many moving parts that fit together, beginning at the edges of the town and continuing to downtown cores and the destinations at the heart of a community. It is important to recognize that wayfinding can be experienced on a highway, along a greenway, or on pedestrian-filled main streets; the key to a successful wayfinding system is unifying these different experiences.

Why Wayfinding Matters

A successful wayfinding system offers numerous benefits:

  • Improved Traffic Flow – Vehicular wayfinding signs influence optimal traffic patterns, reducing congestion and creating safer driving conditions.
  • Clear Parking Identification – Efficiently direct motorists to public parking areas, minimizing frustration and unnecessary circling.
  • Enhanced Safety – Provide clear, strategic directions to reduce driver confusion and distraction, particularly in busy or unfamiliar areas.
  • Community Awareness – Draw attention to key landmarks, retail hubs, and cultural attractions that define your community.

A Seamless Navigation Experience

An effective wayfinding system works cohesively across various transportation modes and environments:

  • Highways – Inform drivers of upcoming exits and attractions.
  • Greenways – Guide cyclists and pedestrians along scenic routes and recreational paths.
  • Downtown Streets – Help visitors navigate pedestrian-filled main streets and locate key destinations effortlessly.

Unifying the Journey

The key to a successful wayfinding system is creating a unified experience that connects the outskirts of your community with its downtown core and primary landmarks. From large vehicular signage to pedestrian-scale guidance, each component should integrate seamlessly to provide a consistent and intuitive navigation experience.
