Aurora has a strong design team with 21 members, we have sufficient experiences in designing road signs and would like to share our experiences at our website. How to design a roadside sign is a big subject, which includes directional guide.

Destinations, directions, routes and distances

Directional guide signage is comprised of fourcomponents, the:
• Destination
• Direction
• Route
• Distance.

The combination of signs at each decision point on the roadway, be it an interchange or an intersection, must convey these four pieces of information in a consistent manner. New destination information should not be introduced nor should it be dropped out of sequence. Supplemental guide signing, such as service signs, should be used sparingly. Decision points on the roadway should be introduced far enough in advance that the driver has ample time to react.

The Destination

Destination signs are typically erected in advance of a major decision point such as an interchange or intersection. Since the primary purpose of guide signing is to provide direction to specific destinations to motorists unfamiliar with the area, the hierarchy of destinations is an important factor. It is not possible to indicate all destinations on all intersecting routes, so to provide the optimum guidance to the motorist, a hierarchy of traffic generators has been established throughout the province. This has regard to the nature of the traffic on each particular section of highway. Community size, geographical location and relationship to the highway network were considered in establishing the hierarchy. The elements of this hierarchy in order of rank are as follows:

1. Destinations ‐ these are the major traffic generators, terminal points or nodes along a particular route. They are typically centres which are of importance or interest to the majority of motorists and usually are separated by a considerable distance.
2. Key Points ‐ these are the traffic generators which rank next in importance and are intermediate to the destinations on the highway system. They are of importance or interest to a large proportion of the motorists.
3. Next Communities ‐ these are communities or centres that are incorporated or have a population in excess of 100 and are located along or near the highway. These centres are generally of importance to a smaller proportion of the motorists.
4. Other Places ‐ these are communities with a population of less than 100, lakes, camps, certain industrial sites, and other small places that generate trips. These places are generally of local interest and important to a small proportion of motorists.

The provincial practice for guide signing on rural highways has been established in relation to the various functions of the provincial highways (i.e. one and two digit highways serve inter‐provincial and interregional demands and three digit highways serve local travel demands). Typically, on higher classes of highways (one and two digit highways), Destinations and Key Points are signed along the route and motorists receive direction and distance information to these destinations at each major junction and along the route itself. On lower classes of collector, three digit highways most trips are local and it is usually sufficient to provide motorists with the information about direction and distance to the next community. There is usually no need to sign for distant destinations along collector routes.
