We are introducing a new wayfinding system for Oxford city centre and would like your input to ensure we get the best system possible. The new system will replace the existing finger posts with a range of signs (pictured below) that provide directional and map information. The proposed system also includes state-of-the-art smartphone technology that enables the user to access useful and interesting information about Oxford. The aim is to enhance the experience of visiting, working or living in Oxford by improving people's sense of orientation and providing a better understanding of what the city has to offer.
To ensure people get a good understanding of what the wayfinding scheme is about, we have installed two prototype signs in the city centre - one adjacent to Bonn Square at the top of New Inn Hall Street, and the other at the Queen Street end of St Ebbes Street. The prototypes will be in place from 7 October to 7 November. Once you have viewed the signs, please take a few minutes to click on the link below and complete the questionnaire.
This consultation has now closed.
