Amenities signage: These signs indicate the location of restrooms, elevators, drinking fountains, parking areas, wifi hotspots, etc.

General information: These signs provide information about building hours, emergency procedures, or contact details.

Floor plan displays: Digital or static maps illustrating the layout of a building, often found at entrances or information booths.

Directional wayfinding signs

Large arrows or other graphic elements can be used on a wayfinding sign to provide directions. These are typically used for car parks, driveways or even roadways to help people know which way to go.
