Abstract
The existence of New York City is probably as much a reason for this study as is any other single factor. Coupled with its proximity to Princeton, it has offered a source for academic education and personal interests too good to overlook during this past year. But it was an offer which demanded trips to and through the streets of that city either as a driver, a subway or bus rider, or a pedestrian. It also required the use of signs which were posted to regulate, inform and direct the users of each of these forms of transportation. Unfortunately, good directions and useful information were often found to be lacking. New York is not unique in this respect. There are few, if any, cities where a stranger can effectively find his way. The reasons are in many cases correctable by simply improving the form and availability of the signs posted for use. This study shows how some of these improvements can be obtained.
