* Use contrasting colors: black on brown cardboard is not very good readable for passing drivers, black on white is far more readable
* Use the same font as the route directions for clarity. Orderly signs suggest orderly people - but epic rides won't depend on that!
* Write only the initial letters letter in capitalscapital. The human brain detects a word not only by combining a few letters, but also by recognizing the different ascenders and descenders (the heights of the different words). When writing only in capital letters you lose this advantage. That's why street signs respect the upper and lower case.
* In general, signs are useful when going out of a city, from which many roads start or if, for example, you have a junction 15 km ahead and you do not want to walk, thus writing ''to the junction''.
* Often a big sign just saying ''please'' works wonders. People fall for the politeness if you can't get them to stop with a destination sign.
