The Booklet on Standard Signages at Stations prioritizes simple language, clear font, easy-to-see colors, and intuitive pictograms. It is made keeping in mind the requirements of all passengers, including the elderly, women, children, divyangjan etc. The colors of signages, type, and size of fonts have been standardized. The concept of a grouping of signages has been introduced for faster wayfinding. New tertiary boards displaying station names with tricolor backgrounds have been introduced. Emphasis has been laid on providing intuitive wayfinding and availability of signages on key decision-making points. While there is an emphasis on the standardization of signages, the need for flexibility in the case of stations with strong architectural vocabulary has also been recognized.
