Wayfinding for Today's Smart Cities

California cities are beginning to implement Smart technologies to manage resources and accommodate growth. Many initiatives are underway to reduce traffic congestion and resulting greenhouse gases. This new push presents some public education and safety challenges.

Appropriate signage and graphics can ease the transition from an automobile-dominant mode of travel to safer, multi-modal, pedestrian and cyclist-friendly, shared streets. Graphic Solutions utilizes sign height, colors, shapes and type fonts to accommodate commuter accessibility and to differentiate neighborhoods, while incorporating unifying design elements for citywide branding.

We can also create digital signage solutions, which are effective for flexible, public spaces that are designed to accommodate a variety of special events and uses. These can also be used in parking areas to efficiently direct traffic during peak hours. It reduces confusion and is perceived as efficient and convenient.
