This publication describes a step by step plan for developing a pedestrian signposting system by road administrators. The publication describes that there is a growing need for a uniform pedestrian signposting system that is easily recognizable and comprehensible. Which objects should be signposted depend on policy and starting points previously formulated. It is easier to only include things that are actually being sought. To a great extent, there are two conceivable pedestrian signposting systems. With "individual marking" each object is separately indicated right from the starting point. With "object route marking" first of all a route is indicated, which roughly follows a route passing all relevant passing all relevant objects. The nearest objects to this route are constantly denoted. The advantages and disadvantages of both systems should be considered carefully in order to opt for the right choice. In principle, the shortest possible route should be signposted for pedestrians. This route should have a feeling of social safety. The route should also be suitable for use by handicapped people. The route should not have too many twists and turns. Special attention should be given to the design and layout of the start or departure point. There are also minimum standards for the design of actual signposts.
