There are whole debates about weather to use a sign or not. If you decided to use one there are several important things:
- Think well about what place or text to put on it: take well known places, sometimes also road names can be used or more humoristic phrases
- Use the same font as the route directions
- Use contrasting colors: black on brown cardboard is not very good readable for passing drivers, black on white is far more readable
Tip: Make a sign of a large sheet of brightly colored paper glued to a sheet of cardboard. Cover this with self adhesive transparent book wrap. Now you made yourself a re-usable sign wich you can use with a whiteboard marker and clean again with a small towel.
