Public Area Signs

The importance of public area signage

Visitors to public areas want to enjoy the experience and make the most of the facilities available to them. Without clear signage that provides important information, people can be left confused or frustrated.

Sometimes a public area will be unfamiliar to visitors or perhaps amenities will have undergone changes or relocation; visible signage ensures that people stay informed and can use these public spaces effectively. Warning signs, such as our Thieves Operate In This Area Signs can be effective in reminding the public to stay vigilant while enjoying a public area.

Enjoyment of a public space can be reduced if that area is littered with rubbish or other materials. Littering in public places is an anti-social behaviour that should be discouraged. Our Do Not Litter Signs serve as a clear deterrent to dropping unwanted items carelessly. Another preventative course of action involves informing visitors that bins are indeed available with Do Not Litter Use The Bins Provided Signs. On the other hand, some people may not know where they should dispose of their litter. Should you need to draw attention to where visitors can discard these items, Litter Signs can highlight where receptacles are available to throw the materials away safely and tidily. All these signs can be placed indoors or outdoors. In addition, all of our signs display symbols that comply with BS 8501:2002, so they always meet minimum standards for public graphical symbols and signs.

Help manage public areas with informative signs

Sometimes, managers of public areas need to instruct visitors what they can do, rather than just what they are asked not to do. With the proliferation or wireless technology and mobile devices, access to the internet is now an ever-present demand in public spaces. If your facilities offer access to the internet, draw attention to this fact by using a WiFi Zone Frosted Window Transfer. Available in a range of colours, this sign also has the added benefit of meeting Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health & Safety) Regulations 1992, which dictates that there must be concerted efforts to deter people from walking into glass.

For those in charge of public spaces, a vital consideration is that users of all abilities can access the facilities available on site and navigate it too. For instance, use Accessible Route Signs to highlight the best paths for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues. This might also involve using Ramped Access Signs to draw attention to where members of the public can find alternatives to stairs. Adequate signage helps users of all abilities make the most of public spaces.

Our range of Public Area Signs covers a vast range of scenarios, for both indoor and outdoor use. Choose from different sizes, materials, warning messages and orientations and find the most appropriate signage to suit your needs.

Many of our signs are supplied with self-adhesive backing. However for those that are not, we recommend adding suitable sign fixings to your order; so you can be up and running with your new public area signs as soon as possible.
