Wayfinding signage in Roseville invites new bicyclists <strong>and</strong> walkers to use the trail<br />

by providing information about where the trail leads <strong>and</strong> proper trail behavior.<br />

Wayfinding<br />

Wayfinding is a systematic way of providing consistent, clear, <strong>and</strong> user-friendly information<br />

about distances <strong>and</strong> routes to transit <strong>and</strong> other key destinations for bicyclists <strong>and</strong> pedestrians.<br />

An effective regional wayfinding system will be one that unites the region <strong>and</strong> enables visitors,<br />

first-time users, <strong>and</strong> residents to navigate safely to their destination. <strong>Regional</strong> wayfinding systems<br />

serve the purpose of unifying the region in such a way that minimizes confusion for those who<br />

travel between <strong>and</strong> across different local jurisdictions.<br />

A regional wayfinding system should establish a range of permitted functions for a signage<br />

system, but not restrict the creativity of local jurisdictions by determining a specific design or<br />

assigning locations for wayfinding signage. Many wayfinding systems for bicyclists follow the<br />

MUTCD guidelines, unless the agency responsible for the system accepts that the signs are for<br />

informational purposes rather than transportation purposes. At this time, there is no national<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard for pedestrian wayfinding systems.
