Wayfinding Systems
What does ‘Wayfinding’ mean?
‘Wayfinding’ is another term for navigation. The idea behind a wayfinding system is to improve an area by guiding people to and from their destination via an easy-to-understand wayfinding system.
A wayfinding system can be more than just the signage itself. It can also include:
When a wayfinding program has been developed properly it helps users:
- Know their location
- Identify their destination
- Choose and follow the best route
- Recognise when they have arrived at their destination
- Return safely back to their starting point
The main goal of a wayfinding system is to help achieve all the accessibility needs of visually impaired people and other special user groups.
A wayfinding system can help visually impaired users, disabled people, and other groups of people accurately navigate a number of different areas such as schools, hospitals, shopping centres, public bathrooms, downtown areas, and public spaces.
