Pedestrian Signage Pedestriansignsguidepedestrianstotheircampusdestinationandidentify their destination upon arrival. They complement intuitive paths and paving and provide guidance at decision points. Because pedestrian signs are viewed at a close distance, decorative elements, such as post details, are more reQnedthanonvehicularsigns.
