Most
signs - and particulaly signs for the visually impaired
can be broekn down into four main types:
Information
signs
These signs orientate people within your location and
are used the main internal signs that identify the main
locations and include directories, maps and plans.
Direction
signs
The direct people to specific destiinations using arrows
and text. There are often muliple destinations signposted
in one place and so care needs to be taken to ensure
there is no confusion.
Identification
/ locations signs
These are the signs that identify a place and are never
used with an arrow: they are attached to the place they
signpost and are what direction signs point to.
Safety,
fire and other required signs
These are the signs that are required by law and carry
essential safety information. They give warnings of
hazards, or safety information or details about fire
fighting equipment.
