Figure 2D-20. Example of a Color-Coded Community Wayfinding Guide Sign System
This figure shows eight examples of color-coded community wayfinding guide signs.
The figure shows an overhead view of community map, with a main roadway running south to north and several cross streets. At the bottom of the figure, a horizontal dashed line is labeled "Renwick Corporate Boundary." Community districts are labeled "South Hill," "Downtown," "Collegetown," and "Lakefront." A blue area representing water is shown to the upper right of the community. Black squares throughout the area representing the community are labeled "Community Center" (in South Hill), "Clinton House" (in Downtown), "Art Museum" and "Performing Arts Center" (in Collegetown), and "Visitor Center" (in Lakefront). An area to the left of the blue area representing water is labeled "Stewart Park." A square in the area representing Downtown is labeled "Parking."
Black inverted "Ts" denote signs. A series of guide signs are shown along the vertical roadway and the community streets.
At the bottom of the figure and just north of the broken line denoting the Renwick Corporate Boundary, a horizontal rectangular green sign with a white border and legend is shown to the right of the vertical roadway. It is labeled "General Information Sign (See Section 2H.05)." The words "Entering Renwick" are shown in white on two lines.
Just beyond this sign, a vertical rectangular green sign with a white border and legend is shown to the right of the vertical roadway. It is labeled "Optional Destination Guide Sign at Wayfinding Boundary (See Section 2D.03)." The words "Renwick Districts" are shown in white on one line above a horizontal white line that extends across the width of the sign. Below this line, a blue square is shown to the left of the word "Collegetown" in white on the top line, a purple square is shown to the left of the words "South Hill" in white on the middle line, and a light green square is shown to the left of the word "Lakefront" in white on the bottom line.
Beyond this sign and in advance of a horizontal street to the right of the vertical roadway, a horizontal rectangular green sign with a white border and legend is shown to the right of the roadway. It is labeled "Destination Guide Sign." A blue square is shown to the left of the word "Collegetown" in white to the left of a horizontal right-pointing arrow. A note states: "Color coding panels for use only when optional destination guide sign is used at wayfinding boundary."
On the horizontal street to the right of the vertical roadway, a light blue horizontal rectangular sign with black top and bottom borders and a white legend is shown to the right of the street in advance of the district labeled "Collegetown." The word "Collegetown" is shown in white on the top black border. Below the border, an upward-pointing vertical white arrow is shown on the light blue sign to the left of the words "Performing Arts Center" in white on two lines and above a horizontal white line that extends across the width of the sign. Below this line, a left-pointing horizontal white arrow is shown to the left of the words "Art Museum" in white on one line.
On the vertical roadway, farther north and closer to the Downtown and South Hill districts, a horizontal rectangular green sign with a white border and legend is shown to the right of the roadway. It is labeled "Destination Guide Sign." A left-pointing horizontal white arrow is shown to the left of a purple square that is to the left of the words "South Hill" in white on one line above a horizontal white line that extends across the width of the sign. Below this line, a light green square is shown to the left of the word "Lakefront" in white to the left of a right-pointing horizontal white arrow on one line. A note states: "Color coding panels for use only when optional destination guide sign is used at wayfinding boundary."
Just beyond this sign, a pink horizontal rectangular sign with black top and bottom borders and a white legend is shown to the right of the street in advance of the district labeled "Downtown." The word "Downtown" is shown in white on the top black border. Below the border, an upward-pointing vertical white arrow is shown on the pink sign to the left of the words "Clinton House" in white on two lines and above a horizontal white line that extends across the width of the sign. Below this line, a left-pointing horizontal white arrow is shown to the left of the word "PARKING" in white on one line.
Just north of this sign, a horizontal cross street is shown. To the left of the vertical roadway, a sign is shown beyond the square labeled "Parking" and to the right of the street in advance of the district labeled "South Hill." This sign is shown as a horizontal rectangular purple sign with black top and bottom borders and a white legend. The words "South Hill" are shown in white on the top black border. Below the border, the words "Community Center" are shown in white on two lines on the purple sign to the left of a right-pointing horizontal white arrow.
On the horizontal cross street to the right of the vertical roadway, a sign is shown farther east and to the right of the street in advance of the district labeled "Lakefront." The sign is shown as a horizontal rectangular light green sign with black top and bottom borders and a white legend. The word "Lakefront" is shown in white on the top black border. Below the border, an upward-pointing vertical white arrow is shown on the light green sign to the left of the word "Overlook" in white on one line and above a horizontal white line that extends across the width of the sign. Below this line, a left-pointing horizontal white arrow is shown to the left of the words "Cayuga Lake" in white on one line, the words "Visitor Center" in white on the second line, and the words "Stewart Park" in white on the third line.
