The Town of Coaldale has created wayfinding signage to help pedestrians and cyclists make informed decisions about the routes they take daily. Wayfinding signage uses visual cues such as maps, symbols and a contrast of colours to direct individuals to their destinations. Residents of all ages can benefit from predictable signage that gives them a better idea of where they are and where they are going. 


This survey's feedback will be used to carry forward your thoughts and opinions about travelling on foot or by bike and incorporated into the design and delivery of permanent wayfinding signage.

Directional 

Directional signage tells you which way to go. The example “Eastview Park” is a fingerpost that uses an arrow to direct the user in a specific direction. 

Directional and Informational

Informational signage combines maps, colours, and symbols to help pedestrians navigate the physical environment. Three different versions of this wayfinding signage have been implemented in the pilot phase to determine which version of the system is most effective or preferred.
