Wayfinding signs were in use long before anyone ever imagined Google Maps, built-in navigation systems, or GPS. And, these days, without the appropriate signage, it is tough to pinpoint the precise place where you need to go even if you are using the most advanced technology. Wayfinding and directional signage assist us in where we need to go. They save time and prevent mistakes. Thankfully, Elite Custom Signs is one of the premier providers of wayfinding signs for parks and recreation areas in Holly Springs, NC.
How to Create an Effective Wayfinding Sign System
Most parks and recreation areas have roads that travel through the property. This makes it crucial that you have effective and efficient wayfinding markers, directories, and traffic control signs. By making the grounds easy to enter and leave and ensuring the traffic flows smoothly, you can influence how people perceive your recreation area. The real challenge is finding the right combination of affordability, aesthetic appeal, and functionality.
Walking your property is the first literal and figurative step in creating an effective wayfinding sign system. One-size-fits-all solutions simply will not fly, so a good sign company will perform a site survey. We will make sure your wayfinding signs and directories are where guests will look for them. Above all, you must ensure you have the right ADA signage.
Your signage must also be readable. We recommend legible fonts and make your signs the appropriate size for the situation to allow for readability. Text should be concise and simple. Additionally, we suggest a high contrast between the background color and your text.
Big parks should have a large directory near their entrance. Directories can include just about any information and details you want. For directory signs for parks and recreation areas in Holly Springs, NC, we typically recommend incorporating a detailed, to-scale map that highlights various amenities and points of interest. We have the ability to update your signs as needed as your park changes.
