I have been involved in a major review of signage in St Albans. There are various reasons for this:

1. The new electronic car park signs will show how many spaces each of the five central car parks will have. There also need to be signs guiding drivers to the car park they have chosen once they have read the information on the electronic sign.
2. There is a complete lack of logic in the existing direction signage: some signs send you to the M1 or M25, others mention destinations like Dunstable even though few enough people would head for Dunstable as such. Some old signs need removing and new more helpful signs put up.

The overall effect should be to have fewer cars driving around aimlessly looking for parking places and causing congestion.

In addition, there are issues like local directions: why do we signpost some places of worship (eg the Abbey) and not others (eg other mainstream churches and the mosques)? Why are some very small places of worship advertised and not those with self-evidently big congregations? Should we signpost schools or not? Your thoughts would be welcome.
