Native to the UK and I’ll use signs for navigation both in areas I’m familiar with and those I’m not. Some examples: 1. I want to go to a show at a popular venue (arena or theatre sized) in an area I know. If I know vaguely where it is, I’ll drive into the city centre and probably meet a one way system and follow the signs for the venue. 2. I want to visit a National Trust property. Head for a major road that runs past it and there will be brown signs that give you the best route to it. 3. Travelling somewhere and decide there is a problem with traffic / the weather and look for a detour. Signs are often perfect for choosing the best roads to head for another waypoint and then the best way from there to where you were originally heading. I’m not some kind of crazy person who will only navigate by signs - I check things out on maps and put sat nav on, but I know the limitations of all and often the signs send me on the best route. The people who figure these out and keep them updated are amazing at their job. |
