Fingerposts

(85)

Fingerposts, also known finger post signs and guideposts, provide a friendly means of waymarking and navigation, particularly for pedestrians in town centres, villages, rural parks, visitor centres, footpaths and bridleways. Fingerposts come in a wide array of styles, which makes them attractive items of street furniture in their own right.

Fingerpost components typically include a column with or without a decorative finial and a number of directional arms inscripted with letters, symbols or pictograms. Read More

Fingerposts for villages, towns and heritage sites

Steel , stainless steel and aluminium fingerpost designs provide durable, user-friendly directional signage, which complements architecture in contemporary public spaces, around public transport terminals, and in commercial developments.

Cast iron fingerpost designs typically draw on more established signpost and finger profiles, and are well suited to villages and heritage sites.

Polyurethane fingerposts are available as an alternative to cast iron.

Contrasting colours are specified to make guideposts clear to pedestrians: as well as traditional colourways such as gold lettering on black fingerarms for heritage sites, black lettering on a white background for village signs, contemporary treatments include colourful signs, particularly when fingers are made from cast aluminium.

Columns are usually painted black, white or grey.

Fingerposts for rural and countryside locations

Timber fingerpost designs, in selected hardwood and softwood timbers, are typically used in rural and countryside locations to guide pedestrians and horse riders on footpaths and bridleways, or around visitor centres at historic sites and gardens.

As an alternative to timber, recycled plastic fingerposts are also available.

Positioning and lettering

Directional finger arms should be a minimum of 2.1m above pavement level in towns, cities and villages.

Lettering is usually specified in sans serif fonts in upper and lower case letters as they are easier to read, although serif fonts can also be effective if carefully chosen.

Other outdoor directional signs include external noticeboards , interpretation signs and external directory and orientation signs .
