The Kansas City streetcar that just recently returned to service in San Francisco after a previous accident was involved in another accident this morning. Hopefully it will return to service quickly this time.
Over the last couple weeks, I've had a little side project I've been working on. If you've used public transit in the bay area, you must have encoutered confusing or even contradictory signs. A few years ago a former coworker got lost when a friend told her to catch the N-Judah from Caltrain and the signs pointed her in the exact opposite direction of the N-Judah station.
Steve over at San Francisco Cityscape has gotten a group together for a demonstration project of how wayfinding can be improved though signs alone. The term "wayfinding" refers to the clues that help you find your way from one place to another. We worked only on signs and maps, but wayfinding can include architecture and other design elements. A clearly visible bus shelter will help you locate a stop easier than a badly placed, or small sign.
