Figure 2D-19. Example of a Community Wayfinding Guide Sign System Showing Direction from a Freeway or Expressway
This figure illustrates a community wayfinding guide sign system showing direction from a freeway or expressway.
The figure shows an overhead view of community map, with a freeway running northwest to southeast to the left of a community of cross streets, with a recreational area to the right. Black squares throughout the community are labeled "Rogers Locomotive," "Phoenix Mill," "City Hall," and "Visitor Center." To the left of the black square labeled "Visitor Center," there is a green area labeled "Overlook Park." Northeast of the green area labeled "Overlook Park," there is a blue area representing a river with a symbol for a bridge shown crossing it and the label "Great Falls."
Black inverted "Ts" denote signs. A series of guide signs are shown along the freeway and the community streets.
At the bottom of the figure, a horizontal rectangular brown sign with a white border and legend is shown to the right of the freeway facing the direction of travel approaching the community. The sign is labeled "Supplemental Guide Sign." The words "Great Falls" are shown in white on the top line, the words "Historic District" are shown in white on the middle line, and the words "EXIT 57" are shown in white on the bottom line.
