When using pedestrian wayfinding signage in a residential community or commercial shopping center, you'll need to choose the right location for it.
Whether you're developing a commercial or residential area, you may need to use traffic signs. Traffic signs have been around for centuries. They became increasingly common, however, during the 1930s in response to the rise of modern-day automobiles. While all traffic signs provide instructions to road users, they are available in different types. What type of traffic signs should you use for your development project?
There are three primary categories of traffic signs used in the United States: warning, regulatory and guide. One of the most common types of guide signs is the street name sign. Street name signs are found on all types of roads. Whether you're driving through a major city or down a rural road, you'll probably encounter them. They are considered guide signs because they provide directions or guidance to motorists and other road users. While you might be familiar with the general purpose of street name signs, there are probably some things you don't know about them.
