Design Guidelines for Bicycle Wayfinding Signage

BackgroundAction 1A.4 of the City of Oakland’s Bicycle Master Plan (2007) states, “Route Signage: Develop an informative and visible signage system for the bikeway network, building on existing bikeway signage, that includes directional and distance information to major destinations.” In Section 3.3, the Plan provides a discussion of the bicycle wayfinding signs that Oakland has used in the past. The following approach applies to all new bicycle wayfinding signage in the City of Oakland.

Overall ApproachDestination, direction, and distance information will be included on designated bikeways. Figure 1 provides a full list of supported destinations with guidance on how distances are measured. Figure 2 is a map of these destinations showing their distribution throughout the city. The destinations are organized into a hierarchy of three categories. Primary destinations are downtown and adjoining jurisdictions and are signed at distances of up to five miles. Secondary destinations are transit stations and districts and are signed at distances of up to two miles. Tertiary destinations include parks, landmarks, colleges, hospitals, and high schools. They are generally signed at distances up to one mile. Overall, the system supports approximately 100 destinations.

Standard Signs for Bicycle WayfindingThe overall approach follows the look and feel of standard highway guide signs while the detailed design is tailored for bicyclists. The proposed guidelines use the following standard signs included in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the California MUTCD:

• D11-1:BicycleRouteGuideSign

• D1-1b:DestinationSupplementalSign

• M7-1toM7-7:DirectionArrowSupplementalSign

By using standard signage, the City of Oakland builds upon readily recognizable imagery and encourages consistency with other agencies. However, the proposed guidelines include specific modifications and additions to the standards to provide a wayfinding system that is more robust than the direction currently provided by state and national standards.

4 Guidelines for Bicycle Wayfinding Signage, July 2009

Sign TypesThe system is composed of three sign types (Figure 3):

Confirmation signs confirm that a cyclist is on a designated bikeway. Each confirmationsignincludesaBicycleRouteGuideSign(D11-1)andaDestinationSupplementalSign(D1-1b).Confirmationsignsarelocatedmid-blockoronthefar-sideof intersections.Confirmationsignsincludedestinationsandtheirassociated distances, but not directional arrows.

Turn signs indicate where a bikeway turns from one street onto another street. (They are not used at the junction of intersecting bikeways.) Turn signs are locatedonthenear-sideof intersections.EachturnsignincludesaBicycleRouteGuideSign(D11-1)andtheappropriateDirectionArrowSupplementalSign(M7-1toM7-7).

Decision signs mark the junction of two or more bikeways. Decision signs arecomprisedof aBicycleRouteGuideSign(D11-1)andaDestinationSupplementalSign(D1-1b).Decisionsignsarelocatedonthenear-sideof intersections. They include destinations and their associated directional arrows, but not distances.

Sign Placement PrinciplesThe following principles inform the placement of individual signs:

1. A confirmation sign will be located at the beginning of each bikeway.

2. When a bikeway turns, a turn sign will be located in advance of the turn (e.g.,near-sideof theintersection).

3. Whenbikewaysintersect,adecisionsignwillbelocatedonthenear-sideof each intersection approach.

4. To allow adequate notification of left turns, the decision or turn sign should be placed a distance before the intersection based on the number of lanes the bicyclist must merge across in order to make a legal left turn:

a. Zero lane merge: 25’b. One lane merge: 100’c. Two lane merge: 200’

The decision or turn sign should always be located in the block immediately preceding the junction or turn.

4. Confirmationsignswillbelocatedatintervalsof one-half miletoone mile, based on the density of streets and intersecting bikeways (e.g., downtown versus the Oakland Hills). It is desirable for confirmation signs tobelocatedfollowingdecisionsignsonthefar-sideof intersectionsatthe first convenient installation location.

5. Confirmation signs should be located immediately following bikeway junctions on streets that do not have bicycle lanes or sharrows (e.g., in the Oakland Hills).

Sign FrequencyIn general, there will be four to five bikeway guide signs for each directional mile of bikeway. In other words, one mile of bikeway will include four to five bikeway guide signs in each direction. The proposed bikeway network includes bikeways spaced at intervalsof one-half mile.Onaverage,eachdirectionalmileof bikewaywillincludetwodecisionsigns.Confirmationsignsatone-half miletoonemileintervalsaddanadditional one to two signs per directional mile of bikeway. A typical bikeway will thus include three to four guide signs per directional mile, plus any turn signs that are needed based on the particular route. Assuming an average of four to five bikeway guidesignsperdirectionalmile,build-outof theproposedbikewaynetworkwillinclude approximately 2,000 bikeway guide signs.

Sign Layout Principles The following principles determine the layout of individual signs. See Figures 4, 5, and 6 for sign layout details. Turn signs follow the details and dimensions specified in the MUTCD. Figure 7 shows the layout for all supported destination names.

1. TheBicycleRouteGuideSign(D11-1)is24”wideand18”tall.

2. TheDestinationSupplementalSigns(D1-1b)are24”widewiththe height determined by the number of destinations.

3. No more than three destinations are included on any single sign pole.

4. Destinations shall use mixed case letters (e.g. upper case and lower case).

5. TheDestinationSupplementalSigns(D1-1b)shallusetheFHWA2000C series font with 2” cap height.

6. Forlongdestinationnamesthatdonotfitononeline,theseapproaches are used in the following order of preference:

a. Fordestinationnamesslightlylongerthanoneline,compressthe font horizontally to no less than 90% of its standard size.b. Use intuitive abbreviations in the destination name.c. Useatwo-lineentryforthedestinationname.

7. On decision signs, the straight destination shall be listed on top, the left destination in the middle, and the right destination on the bottom.

8. Ondecisionsigns,thestraightarrowshallbeplacedtotheleftof a destination, the left arrow to the left of a destination, and the right arrow to the right of a destination.


9. Ondecisionsigns,straightdestinationsshallbeleft-justified,left destinationsshallbeleft-justified,andrightdestinationsshallbe right-justified.Thestraightarrowshallbecenteredovertheleftarrow.

10. On confirmation signs, the closest destination shall be listed on top and the furthest destination shall be listed on the bottom.

11. If a bikeway ends in a location where there is no obvious destination, use the closest major destination on an intersecting bikeway. If there is no intuitive destination, the name of the intersecting street where the bikeway ends may be used as the destination.

12. The bikeway’s endpoint should be included on confirmation signs along the length of the route, irrespective of the distance associated with its designation as a primary, secondary, or tertiary destination.

13. Avoid the use of diagonal arrows on turn signs and decision signs wherever possible.

14. Do not use periods in the abbreviation of destination names (e.g. “Piedmont Ave” and “Jack London Sq”).

15. Common symbols are used to convey destination information in aspace-efficientmanner.Thesymbolsshownbelowareusedfor“BART”, “hospital”, “East Bay Regional Park”, and “Amtrak”. The symbol shall precede the destination name (e.g. “ MacArthur” and “ Kaiser”).

Logos/symbols used on decision/confirmation signs


Differences from the MUTCD Sign Layout SpecificationsThese guidelines deviate from the MUTCD in the following ways:

Difference RationaleReduces horizontal buffer between edge of green and sign content from 1.5” to 0.75”

Greaterabilitytoaccommodatelongerdestination names

Incorporates symbols with destination names

Above plus improved communication

Maintains 24” wide supplemental sign (D1-1b)

Aesthetic and consistent width allows for the easy addition of destinations as the bikeway network is built out

Includes horizontal rules to separate multiple destinations

Aestheticandspace-efficient

UsesFHWA2000(HighwayGothic)Cseries font series (rather than D series)

Greaterabilitytoaccommodatelongerdestination names; maintains 2” cap height; consistent with the cities of Chicago and Seattle

Inclusionof CitytreelogoonD11-1sign, by reducing cap height of “BIKE ROUTE” to 2.75” (from 3”)

Provides local flavor and sense of place

Replacement of “BIKE ROUTE” with “Bay Trail” for use on Bay Trail segments

Indicates to bicyclist that they are on the Bay Trail

Installation SpecificationsThe standard pole for bikeway guide signs is a 2” square perforated unistrut pole. Thepoleshouldbeplaced18”to24”intheground,dependingupontheoverallweight of the signs and the soil/pavement conditions. Heavy sign installations may require poles up to 36” into the ground. Poles of 12’ in length are generally adequate toaccommodateaD11-1withasupplementaryD1-1bsign.Longerpolesareneededif additionalsignswillsharethesamepole.TheD11-1shouldbeinstalledat10’in height as measured from the top edge of the sign. This height will allow for the installation of supplementary signs while maintaining a minimum 7’ clearance to thebottomedgeof thebottomsign.WhenaD11-1ismountedonapolewithanexistingparkingrestrictionsign,theD11-1andanysupplementarysignshouldbelocated above the parking restriction sign. Signs shall not be mounted to utility poles or traffic signal mast arms. Existing poles should be used wherever practical.


Coordination with Other AgenciesOther agencies have expressed interest in providing bicycle wayfinding signage inOakland.TheSanFranciscoBayTrailProjectandtheBayConservationandDevelopment Commission typically include guide signage for bicyclists and pedestrians, directing people to public shorelines and along the Bay Trail. Bay Trail project staff have also expressed interest in additional guide signs that would support long distance bicycling along the Bay Trail. BART is seeking to improve bicyclewayfindinginitsstationareas.Furthermore,theAlamedaCountyCongestionManagement Agency has expressed interest in developing a coordinated system for signing countywide bikeways. In some instances, all of these wayfinding efforts could overlap in the same location: a local bikeway that is also a countywide bikeway that is part of the Bay Trail and near a BART station (e.g., Mandela Parkway near West Oakland BART).

These and other overlapping wayfinding systems for bicyclists shall be supplemental to Oakland’s base system, limiting sign clutter and providing clear information to the intended users. Any additions should provide consistent content in an integrated formatbasedontheBicycleRouteGuideSign(D11-1)andtheDestinationSupplementalSign(D1-1b).Asdescribedintheseguidelines,theinclusionof theBART logo in destination names is one example of this integration. Similarly, Figure 8 showsamodifiedD11-1thatincludestheBayTrailnameandlogo.TheD1-1bsign also includes the Bay Trail logo to communicate the direction of the Bay Trail at a decision point.

In response to comments received on the draft version of these guidelines, the City of Oakland will develop bicycle wayfinding signage on the Bay Trail as follows. Oakland bicycle wayfinding signs will not substitute for or preclude the installation of pedestrianwayfindingsignage.On-streetsegmentsof theBayTrailwillbesigned according to the guidelines, including the Bay Trail name and logo on the modifiedD11-1andD1-1b.Off-streetsegmentsof theBayTrailwillbeevaluatedforbicyclewayfindingsignageonacase-by-casebasisinlightof thefollowingthreeconsiderations.First,anynewsignsshouldavoidsignclutterandavoidnegativevisual effects along the water’s edge. Second, bicycle wayfinding signs will not substitute for or preclude other signage denoting public access to or along the Bay Trail. Third, the Bay Trail Project may develop wayfinding signage for the Bay Trail that could supplement or replace design guidelines established at the local level. This new guidance could address the different needs of pedestrians and bicyclists, support destinations over considerable distances, and ensure a consistent approach throughout the region. Thus, the City of Oakland’s approach to bicycle wayfinding signs on the Bay Trail provides direction for current projects, an additional level of sensitivityforoff-streetsegments,andanacknowledgementthatOakland’sguidelinesdo not fully account for the regional nature of the Bay Trail.
