For many years, I have observed that the signs in Singapore are generally poor.
What are good signs? Here are some suggestions:
a) They should anticipate what the public needs to know.
When alighting from a train, they need to know which escalator to take for the Way Out and to change to other lines.
They need to know where to find the toilet and lift.
Along the road, they need to know the direction to the MRT station.
When leaving the gantry of the MRT station, they need to know the Exit No for common landmarks nearly.
b) They should provide most important information at the first level and more detailed information at the second level.
c) Direction signs should take precedence over commercial advertisements. (We have too many advertisements that obstruct the signs).
What are your views?
I have visited other cities and generally find their signs to be helpful. Somehow, the signs in Singapore do not appear to be helpful. This is a general observation. There are exceptions.
