Maps. 4.

Missed interpretation opportunities. 3.

This adds a valuable layer of context and understanding enhancing user experience of a place.

Believing signs are the only form of wayfinding. 4.

Brochures, guides and apps can all be used to complement the physical signage and further assist with changing behaviour.
