Project Conceived and Funded by:
Assistance provided by:
The mission of the Tour de Troit is to promote and encourage bicycling and bicycle safety through education, public events, collaboration with community and government organizations and support for non-motorized infrastructure. Tour de Troit has raised more than $200,000 towards non-motorized infrastructure since 2005, including funding the development of these Wayfinding Design Guidelines. The organization was honored by the League of Michigan Bicyclists with their 2014 Community Support for Bicycling Award for their efforts.
B a c kg ro u n d The Tour de Troit, Detroit Greenways Coalition, City of Detroit, Wayne County Road Commission, MDOT, and an extensive list of other organizations and agencies have worked to realize tremendous growth in the number and miles of bicycle and greenway facilities within the City of Detroit. The extent of the emerging network spurred the need and desire for a comprehensive bicycle wayfinding program. The purpose of these design guidelines is to develop an informative and visible signage system for the City’s growing bikeway network. The plan includes directional information to major destinations within the City as well as neighboring communities. The intent of implementing these guidelines is to: •
Familiarize users with the bicycle network.
•
Assist in identifying routes to destinations.
•
Assist in increasing the comfort level of and encouraging infrequent bicyclists to bike more often.
•
Develop a signage package that includes distance to destinations to help minimize the tendency to overestimate how faraway places are.
•
Visually indicate to motorists that they are driving along a bicycle route or facility.
•
Market the bicycle network by providing consistent imagery.
The Tour de Troit conceived the idea of a comprehensive wayfinding systemin Detroit and funded the development of this document. The Tour partnered with the Detroit Greenways Coalition (DGC) and contracted with livingLAB to engage the community and develop the plan. As part of the process, the Tour de Troit and DGC: •
Reviewed bike wayfinding systems being implemented in other cities throughout the United States.
•
Documented existing bike signage within the City of Detroit.
•
Reviewed AASHTO, NACTO and MUTCD standards.
•
Met with City, County and MDOT staff to gather input related to design and implementation standards.
•
Engaged stakeholders, agencies and organizations in a series of meetings to gather feedback on proposed designs.
•
Developed an online survey that gathered additional input from 372 people.
•
Applied the draft guidelines to a pilot area in southwest Detroit.
City of Detroit Bicycle Wayfinding Guidelines | Background
1
S ta n d a rd S ig n s fo r B ic yc le W a yfin d in g The overall approach follows the look and feel of standard highway guide signs while the detailed design is tailored for bicyclists. By using standard signage, the City of Detroit builds upon readily recognizable imagery and encourages consistency with other agencies. Standard signage is also more likely to be fundable through federal grant monies and as a component of road reconstruction projects. The City of Detroit, Wayne County and MDOT will also maintain signs within their Right-of-Way that comply with MUTCD standards. The guidelines use the following standard signs included in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD): (2014) •
D11-1c: Bicycle Route Guide Sign
•
D1-1c (without bicycle symbol): Destination Sign
•
M7-1 to M7-7: Direction Arrow Supplemental Sign (M1-M7 MUTCD standard Signs)
In addition to the Standard Signage, the system includes a Kiosk Sign to offer non-motorized users additional confirmation that they are on a named bikeway, will offer mapping of the regional context in which they are located and the bikeway system layout in the area, and also provide opportunity to recognize funders and, if necessary, recognize any overlap in system names (i.e. part of the Southwest Detroit Greenlink is also part of the proposed Michigan Showcase Trail, etc.).

Standard Signs for Bicycle Wayfinding | City of Detroit Bicycle Wayfinding Guidelines
S ig n T yp e s a n d D e sig n P rin c ip le s The bike wayfinding system is composed of five major sign types as described in greater detail on the following pages: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Confirmation signs Turn signs Decision and Destination signs Branding signs Kiosk signs
The primary design drivers include legibility by users, cost, longevity, approval agency preferences, and keeping it simple. As a rule of thumb, it is anticipated that there will be four to five signs installed for each directional mile of bikeway. In other words, one mile of bikeway will include four to five bikeway guide signs in each direction. On average, each directional mile of bikeway will include two decision signs. Confirmation signs at one-half mile to one mile intervals add an additional one to two signs per directional mile of bikeway. A typical bikeway will thus include three to four guide signs per directional mile, plus any turn signs that are needed based on the particular route. A note regarding Existing Bike Lane Signs. A number of miles of bicycle facilities have been installed throughout the City. In many cases, applying this wayfinding design guidelines to existing facilities can lead to sign clutter. Current regulations allow for the removal of the historically required (black and white MUTCD R3-17) ‘Bike Lane’ signage. Where possible, it is recommended that the black and white bike lane signs be replaced with the wayfinding signs as outlined in this document. 1. Confirmation signs confirm that a cyclist is on a designated bikeway. • Each Confirmation Sign includes a Bicycle Route Guide Sign (D11-1c). •
The Bicycle Route Guide Sign (D11-1c) is 24” wide and 18” tall.
•
When placed along on-street facilities, each Confirmation Sign includes the road name beneath the bicycle symbol. When placed along offroad facilities, each Confirmation Sign includes the facility name beneath the bicycle symbol.
•
Confirmation signs are located on the far-side of major intersections to confirm cyclists are still on their route.
•
A Confirmation Sign will be located at the beginning of each bikeway.
•
Confirmation Signs will be located at intervals of approximately onehalf mile on off-street facilities and every 2 to 3 blocks on street, unless another type of sign is used (e.g., within 150 ft of a turn or decision sign), based on the density of streets and intersecting bikeways. At locations with complicated turns or decisions, locate a confirmation sign on the far-side of the intersection, within sight distance of the intersection, but at least 25’ past the intersection.

2. Turn signs indicate where a bikeway turns from one street onto another street or makes a sharp turn. • Turn signs are located on the near-side of intersections. • Each turn sign includes a Bicycle Route Guide Sign (D11-1c) which is 24” wide and 18” tall, and the appropriate Direction Arrow Supplemental Sign (M7-1 to M7-7). • They are not used at the junction of intersecting bikeways. • When a bikeway changes streets or makes sharp turns, a turn sign will be located in advance of the turn (e.g., near-side of the intersection). • Turn signs follow the details and dimensions specified in the MUTCD.
3. Decision and Destination signs mark the junction of two or more bikeways or to indicate a nearby destination. • Decision signs are comprised of a Bicycle Route Guide Sign (D11-1c) which is 24” wide and 18” tall, and a Destination Sign(s) (D1-1c). • Decision signs are located on the near-side of intersections or junctions. • They include destinations and their associated directional arrows and distances. • When bikeways intersect, a decision sign will be located on the near-side of each intersection approach. • To allow adequate notification of left turns, the decision or turn sign should be placed a distance before the intersection based on the total number of lanes the bicyclist must merge across in order to make a legal left turn, as summarized in the following table. • The decision or turn sign should always be located in the block immediately preceding the junction or turn and at least 25’ past the preceding intersection. In locations with short blocks, it will not be possible to satisfy the above recommendations. In each instance, turn and decision signs should be located based on local circumstances and good judgment. MERGE TYPE (# OF LANES)

(175’ to 300’
Destination signs/blades • The Destination Signs (D1-1c) are 30” wide and 6” tall blades. • Independent blades allow for the ability to replace/change as conditions change in future. • No more than three Destination Signs (D1-1c) may be included on any single sign pole. • Destinations shall use mixed case letters (e.g. upper case and lower case). Figure 4 shows the layout for all supported destination names. • The Destination Signs (D1-1c) shall use the Clearview Highway Font with 2” cap height. • For long destination names that do not fit on one line, these approaches are used in the following order of preference: o For destination names slightly longer than one line, compress the font horizontally (kerning) to no less than 90% of its standard size. o Use intuitive abbreviations in the destination name. o Use a two-line entry for the destination name. • The straight arrow shall be placed to the left of a destination, the left arrow to the left of a destination, and the right arrow to the right of a destination. • Straight destinations shall be left-justified, left destinations shall be left-justified, and right destinations shall be right-justified. The straight arrow shall be centered over the left arrow. • The closest destination shall be listed on top and the furthest destination shall be listed on the bottom. If, on one pole, all distances are the same, the straight destination shall be listed on top, the left destination in the middle, and the right destination on the bottom. • Left, right, and compound turn arrows generally provide the clearest direction. Avoid the use of diagonal arrows on turn signs and decision signs wherever possible. • Do not use periods in the abbreviation of destination names (e.g. “Woodward Ave” and “Cadillac Sq”). 4. Branding signs identify named routes/networks. • Several named routes exist within the City (i.e. Conner Creek Greenway, Southwest Detroit Greenlink, etc). These small signs are intended to afford the opportunity to assist in brand identification, while keeping wayfinding as the primary message. • Branding signs may be 9” x 9” square. • This sign shall be mounted below the wayfinding components of the signage system. • These branded signs shall be designed by the organizing group.

5. Kiosk signs confirm that a cyclist is on a named bikeway. • Each kiosk sign is two sided. • 18” x 60” Panels mounted with custom ‘U’ brackets between 2” sq. black powder coated poles. • On one panel, the sign includes the name of the route upon which they are placed as well as the opportunity for the placement of logos that represent the bikeway (or bikeways) they are along (i.e. Showcase Trail, Underground Railroad, Inner Circle Greenway). Logos of agencies and organizations (with the exception of the City of Detroit logo) are not anticipated on the front panel. • The second panel will include a map of the system(s) surrounding the installation location with a “you are here” indicator. The scale of the map will encompass approximately 2-10 square miles dependent on the kiosk position and size of the surrounding system. The same map (with the appropriate view displayed) is proposed to be used on all bicycle wayfinding kiosks within the city in order to present a unified and coordinated network for the users. Logos of funding agencies may be placed at the bottom of the map panel. • In most instances, they will be located outside of the road right-of-way and will require coordination with private landowners and/or public agencies. • The frequency of these along a route will likely be dependent on funding and property available.
D iffe re n c e s fro m th e M U T C D S ig n L a yo u t S p e c ific a tio n s The Detroit Bike Wayfinding guidelines deviate from the MUTCD in the following ways: Difference
Rationale
Reduces horizontal buffer between edge of green and sign content from 1.5” to 0.75”
Greater ability to accommodate longer destination names
Maintains 30” wide destination sign (D1-1c)
Aesthetic and consistent width
Uses Clearview Highway font with 2” Cap Size on destination signs.
Greater ability to accommodate longer destination names; maintains 2” cap height; consistent with the cities of Chicago and Seattle

Differences from the MUTCD Sign Layout Specifications | City of Detroit Bicycle Wayfinding Guidelines
S ig n in g to D e stin a tio n s Destination, direction, and route information will be included on designated bikeways. This document provides a full list of supported destinations with guidance on how distances are measured. The destinations are organized into a hierarchy of three categories. Primary destinations are downtown and adjoining jurisdictions and are signed at distances of up to five miles. Secondary destinations are major parks, neighborhoods, cultural districts, and transit stations and are signed at distances of up to two miles. Tertiary destinations include landmarks, colleges, and locally identified destinations. They are generally signed at distances up to one mile. Decision and Destination Principles The Decision and Destination Principles provide a framework for selecting which of the supported destinations are best included on any individual sign. For readability, any individual sign pole will include a maximum of three destinations. Superior message selection provides wayfinding that—from the user’s perspective—is accurate, consistent, understandable, and ultimately the most useful. The nature of a growing bikeway system and a city that is constantly changing requires coordination with local users and neighborhood groups to identify specific needs, routes and/or local points of interest. This guide recommends that prior to final design of the signage system for any route that the design team coordinate a stakeholder meeting to discuss the intent of the system with local agencies/organizations and users and ask for feedback. The following principles inform the messaging of individual Decision and Destination Signs. •
Determine the supported destinations along a given route by identifying the destinations that are (1)located on the bikeway, (2)off-route destinations within a few blocks of the corridor, and (3) destinations served by intersecting bikeways.
•
As identified in the following list, primary destinations are signed at distances of up to five miles; secondary destinations at distances up to two miles; and tertiary destinations at distances up to one mile.
•
If a bikeway ends in a location where there is no obvious destination, use the closest major destination on an intersecting bikeway. If there is no intuitive destination, the name of the intersecting street where the bikeway ends may be used as the destination.
•
For Decision/Destination Signs at intersections with primary bikeways, include the closest major destination (e.g., a primary or secondary destination). Primary bikeways are defined as bicycle lanes on arterial streets and named cycling routes.
•
For Decision Signs at intersections with secondary bikeways, include on the decision sign the closest destination (e.g., a primary, secondary, or tertiary destination). Secondary bikeways are defined here as the collector streets of the bikeway network (and include all those other than the primary bikeways described above).
•
Some supported destinations are located within a few blocks of a designated bikeway, but not directly served by the bikeway. In such instances, sign to the off-route destination with a decision sign on the designated bikeway if the off-route destination is along a straight path of travel and within three blocks.

In sta lla tio n S p e c ific a tio n s Poles The standard pole for bikeway guide signs is a 2” square perforated pole. Poles of 14’ in length are generally adequate to accommodate typical installations. Install the posts per MDOT Standard Specifications for Construction section 919.
10.5’
The D11-1c should be installed at 10.5’ in height as measured from the top edge of the sign. This height will allow for the installation of up to three (3) D1-1c destination signs on a single pole placed with 1” gaps between sign blades. This configuration maintains a minimum 7.25’ clearance to the bottom edge of the bottom sign while locating the bottom edge of the bottom wayfinding sign at a height that may reduce the sign’s exposure to graffiti. This mounting configuration also allows for the installation of a 9” square branding sign if desired by the local greenway coordinating agency/organization. When mounted on an existing pole the D11-1c assembly should be located in this same manner. Signs shall not be mounted to utility poles or traffic signal mast arms. Existing poles should be used wherever practical.
7.25’
Sign Material Use the following City of Detroit standard specifications/product types to produce wayfinding signs: • • • • •
Material: 0.080 inch aluminum Reflective sheeting: Diamond Grade (3M™) Film: ElectroCut (EC) Film Series 1170 (3M™), green (1177) 3M™ Premium Protective Overlay Film Series 1160 Signs are expected to last six to seven years
Maintenance All signs and markings should be properly maintained and replaced and/or cleaned as necessary. When installing signs and markings on bicycle facilities, an agency should be designated to maintain these devices.
Cost An estimate of cost was developed in November 2014 to use as a planning and budgeting guide. • D11-1c: $55.00 • D1-1c: $55.00 • M7-1 – M7-7: $25.00 • 9” x 9” Branding Panel: $40.00 • Post & Install: $100.00 • Kiosk (Posts and 2 Panels Installed): $575.00
