Wayfinding is an integral part of a user’s experience during their visit to developments for a safe, direct and
comfortable walking or cycling experience. QPs/developers are strongly encouraged to provide directional
signage with essential information for pedestrians and cyclists, such as directions to the nearest MRT
stations and other key transport nodes. Wayfinding will also serve to guide cyclists to parking facilities and
help to reduce indiscriminate parking around the development. The below are several points that
QPs/developers may consider when designing wayfinding for the development:
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
• Proper design and placement principles are important to the design of a holistic wayfinding system that
is not only clear and concise, but intuitive for first-time and even regular visitors
• Provision of directional signage to bicycle parking/EOT facilities and nearby transportation nodes along
main walking/cycling circulation corridors and at decision making zones
• Provision of confirmation/repeater signage at locations where there are long stretches without signage
(30-50m indoors, 50-100m outdoors)
• If there are bicycle parking/EOT facilities that are not located on ground level, provide directional
signage along main walking/cycling circulation corridors to guide visitors to access lifts to bicycle
parking/EOT facilities
• Placement of signage shall not obstruct line of sight of pedestrians, motorists and cyclists, resulting in
potential conflicts
• Provide 0.5m lateral clearance between the signage and clear width of path to prevent the bicycle
handlebar from hitting the signage and minimise any potential accidents
• QP is recommended to use bicycle logo with letter P to indicate Bicycle Parking and LTA icons (and
caplet) design for Public Transport icons
Note: Refer to the prevailing COP for Street Work Proposals relating to Development Works - Appendix 3D:

7.1 Information to be Incorporated into DC/BP Plans
(Applicable for Developments with WCP)
1) Indicate the intended walking/cycling circulation corridors from development accesses leading to
bicycle parking/EOT Facilities/lobbies/lifts/transport nodes.
2) Indicate key decision making zones which include intersection of walking/cycling flows, vertical
circulation zones (lift lobbies/escalators).
3) Show exact placement of wayfinding signage along main circulation corridors leading to bicycle
parking/EOT Facilities/lobbies/lifts/transport nodes.
4) Provide wayfinding signage design details (including dimensions, information to be indicated in the
signage and rationale of wayfinding family signage). This may be submitted as a signage family for
easy reference.
5) Indicate the type of wayfinding signage provided (e.g. identity, directional, informational and
confirmation).
