How to design a roadside sign is a big subject, which includes select proper symbols and arrows

Symbols

Symbols have an advantage over word messages in that they can be seen and recognized from greater distances. If the symbols are easily recognizable, either because of their standard application across the country or because they are self explanatory, they can be understood more quickly than a word message and even by people who do not understand the international language like English. In order to be effective, therefore, symbols must be understood by a large percentage of the population. Consequently, when designing new symbols, the design should be thoroughly tested by a sample of representative drivers, rather than just other designers and traffic practitioners. Symbol designs should be kept simple and the elements of a symbol kept as large as possible, as small elements on a symbol cannot be distinguished at large distances.

A number of recognized symbols, which may be recognized by national and international travelers, are provided on official website normally, and the designer should check the sign panel catalogue for newly developed symbols. Any symbol used on signs must be identical in design to those shown in the sign panel catalogue.

Arrows

There are several types of arrows used in guide signs to provide directions of travel. These include:

• Tapered Shafted Arrows – these are up, left, right or angled on directional signs.
• Straight Shafted Arrows – these are up, left or right on community direction signs.
• Down Arrows – these are only used on overhead signs in a downward direction to show lane designation.
• Tab Arrows – these are used on tab signs.
