Proposed Signage Family
Signage Design and Hierarchy
The following signage hierarchy has been developed to meet the anticipated needs of all
users of Victoria Park, from an initial vehicular/cycling mode of travel to site specific trail
needs, e.g., route marking, directional and regulatory information.
Signage Hierarchy:
• Primary Orientation Panel
• Secondary Orientation Panel
• Regulatory Sign
• Primary Pedestrian Directional
• Secondary Pedestrian Directional
• Trail Markers
Secondary Orientation Panel
Providing the same level of information as the Primary Orientation Panel, this sign
element is designed to be located at secondary active transportation route entry points
and will also serve as a recognizable wayfinding icon for route users.
Regulatory Sign
This sign is designed to display regulations for a given activity zone or facility, provide
etiquette, and to serve as a reminder of what activities are and are not permitted.
Primary Orientation Panel
Map elements are essential to provide fundamental, route-wide orientation, route
information and etiquette. These sign types should be located at primary active
transportation route entry points and will also serve to create a sense of arrival. These
elements are important to expose first-time users to the route’s signage aesthetic and
brand. In this respect they will serve as highly recognizable icons for route users seeking
wayfinding information.
Primary Pedestrian Directional
These elements work in tandem with other pedestrian-level signage elements (i.e.,
the orientation/route marker elements), providing both assurance and directions to
the user. These sign units will be found at key route intersections and will provide
directions to multiple locations near or along major trails in the Park.
