It will be very confusing if I need to learn one system for Boston, another for Cambridge, and a third for Somerville.<br />p.s. Cambridge has signs that theoretically direct one from Harvard Square to Alewife and/or the Minuteman bike path. I tried to use this to find a new route around Harvard Square (my usual route involves some use of sidewalks, etc.) but the signs disappeared after a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676105948751843027.post-32931836571468257712012-04-14T21:51:43.651-04:002012-04-14T21:51:43.651-04:00I agree that destination signs would work best for...I agree that destination signs would work best for Somerville.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676105948751843027.post-62347061847908580762012-04-14T20:48:57.663-04:002012-04-14T20:48:57.663-04:00I think Somerville is best navigated by squares. ...I think Somerville is best navigated by squares. I believe many people navigate by figuring out which square something is near, and then heading in that direction - that's certainly the way that I organize the landscape in my mind.<br /><br />I'd go with a set of destination signs (like Berkeley's above) which lists the squares in each direction: <br /><br />Davis 1.5m -><br /><- Union .3m<br />[etc.]<br /><br />It's pretty language-neutral, though not as much as the icons of the czech system you show above. However, our squares don't really have easily associated icons in many cases, so I'd be worried that many of them would seem forced and ultimately be confusing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
