Clear signage can save a tonne of inconvenience

Illogically, the signage will be placed at the ‘end’ of the road, or there will be no signage at all

This edit space has often highlighted signage or the lack of it, with reference to several public facilities. We have written about the poor signage on our roads. Drivers take the car to the end of the road only to find it dug up or closed for some reason. The result is frustration, traffic snarls, and drivers cussing as they try to get out of the blocked space. A simple sign giving a warning at the mouth/entry side of a road will prevent this. Illogically, the signage will be placed at the ‘end’ of the road, or there will be no signage at all.
Passengers at Bandra railway station are facing a similar problem. They have complained of poor signage around a foot overbridge whose eastern exit remains intermittently closed due to post-demolition work near Garib Nagar. They climb the stairs only to discover at the top that they must turn back and take a longer route.
