As a part of our OTS grant with the City of Imperial Beach, Circulate was tasked with creating wayfinding signage and safety decals to help make walking, biking, and rolling safer and easier. In September, the City of Imperial Beach installed our 6 wayfinding signs and 14 bicycle/pedestrian safety decals at heavily transited areas around the City.
The wayfinding signs were created to help pedestrians and bicyclists better orient themselves as they go through the City. These signs were installed along Imperial Beach Blvd and Palm Ave. The signage was designed using the City of Imperial Beach's color palette. Each sign guides pedestrians and bicyclists to important City locations such as the Civic Center, Veterans Park, Imperial Beach Pier, among other locations. The signage includes distance and time estimate for how long it would take someone to either walk or bike from their current location to one of the locations on the sign.
The safety decals were created to give tips on how to be a safer pedestrian/bicyclist. These are 18" circular decals that were installed along multi-purpose paths such as the Bayshore Bikeway. The safety messages include: Keep Your Pets on a Leash, Let Bicycles Pass to Your Left, Protect Your Head, Ring Your Bell, and Use Your Hand Signals.
The goal will be to continue building off this initial wave of signs in the coming months. Stayed tuned for more!
