The Process, Guided

We walk the site, map decision points, design a sign family, write messages and maps, then build and install—no guesswork required.

Wayfinding 101

Wayfinding is how people understand where they are, where they’re going, and how to get there with the fewest decisions possible. For municipalities, that means the right message at the right moment—on both pedestrian and vehicular routes. RoadSafe guides you through planning, design, manufacturing, and installation so your system is clear, durable, and easy to maintain.

What improves right away

  • Fewer “Where do I go?” questions and wrong turns
  • Better event-day parking distribution
  • Safer crossings and calmer traffic near destinations
  • A consistent civic brand across districts, parks, and partners

What You’ll Get (in plain English)

  • Sign Schedule: A master list of every sign, its message, size, and location—your field checklist.
  • Family Standards: Typography, colors, arrows, and icons, sized for walking and driving distances.
  • Maps & Inserts: Pedestrian map cabinets, parking schematics, trail markers, and distance/time plaques.
  • Shop Drawings & As-Builts: Exactly what gets built, where it’s installed, and how to reorder panels later.
  • Maintenance Plan: Cleaning guidance, vandal-resistant finishes, and easy panel replacement.

Quick Planner: 6 Decisions We’ll Guide You Through

  1. Which zones or districts are in scope first?
  2. Primary vs. secondary destinations—what names do we standardize?
  3. Where do people most often get lost today?
  4. How should parking messages change for events?
  5. What’s our update model—who edits, who approves, how often?
  6. Do we need multilingual, tactile, or reflective treatments?

Readability & Accessibility (the short version)

  • Hierarchy: One primary destination, then 2–3 secondaries—keeps decisions fast.
  • Type Size: Sized to viewing distance (drivers vs. walkers).
  • Contrast & Night: High-contrast palettes; reflective or lighting options where needed.
  • Icons & Language: Familiar symbols, bilingual options, and tactile/Braille for kiosks where appropriate.

We are very pleased with the way the job is running and the quality of work being done this year. The new striping on Randall Road is some of the best work we’ve seen in a long time and we love RoadSafe’s new pavement marking truck!

RoadSafe did an incredible job on this complex project. Your quick response to our needs and in implementing traffic switches for all of the phases of this project was outstanding.
Morgan Reardon
Consulting Engineer

The Secretary of MA DOT was in the District traveling around checking on various issues. I had the opportunity to go through the setup on I-91 Northbound 3 or 4 times during the day and it was setup textbook perfect.
