Wayfinding is the methodology of using sensory cues to guide people to their destinations. A successful wayfinding program is intuitive and self-navigable. Effective wayfinding is primarily achieved through the effective use of signage, informational displays and kiosks, building and site layout, and other architectural indicators such as light, color, and materials. Wayfinding also includes audible communication, tactile elements, and provisions for other persons with disabilities. The logic of how buildings and terminal spaces are arranged affects the user’s ability to understand and orient themselves within their environment. Visual dominance of entrances, clearly defined pathways, and definition of public spaces from private spaces (employee works spaces, restricted locations, etc), all play an important role in navigating the terminal. Effective signing is the primary method to provide regulatory, warning, and guidance information to ferry system users. Signing that is clear, concise, and accurate supports safe, legal, and orderly use of WSF facilities. Sign use should be limited and conservative since signs can lose their effectiveness when used to excess. Design signage elements to work with other terminal wayfinding elements by integrating the sign and graphic elements into the architectural and site design of each terminal as described in the following sections of this chapter. Designing and implementing an effective wayfinding system will help ensure that customers have a positive experience and do not rely on staff to direct them to their destinations. Refer to the WSF Terminal Signage Standards Manual (available upon request) for information regarding standards signs and conventions.

Consider exterior EMSat the terminal entrance, in advance of the terminal entrance, and in theholding lanes to advise customers of information such as sailing status, wait times, lane status,loading information, and general terminal announcements. The vehicle holding area is a goodlocation to provide information while passengers wait and provides an opportunity for advertisingrevenue generation. In addition, install individual smaller signs at each toll booth to provideinformation on tolls and toll booth open/closed status.
Install interior EMSsigns in thepassenger building at the turnstile locations and at theinformation board. Utilize EMSsignage at the control point prior to themovable span to informcustomers of “Wait” verses “NowLoading” status. These signs are integrated into thedoorcontrols at the operator control station. In addition, install EMSalong the overhead loadingwalkway and transfer span as appropriate.

Use kiosks and display cases to provide information such as maps, ferry and transit schedules,brochures, and other information not easily conveyed using signage.
(2) Sign Bridges
Locate sign bridges above the road at terminals where there is appropriate physical space and aneed to organize traffic. These may belocated at thehighway entrance to the terminal or insidethe terminal such as in the holding lane area.
(3) Highway/ Ferry Advisory Radio (HAR/ FAR)
WSDOT has a designated radio frequency in which motorists can tune in to hear currentinformation regarding ferry sailings including schedule delays, route detours, route closures, andemergency conditions. This provides motorists with an opportunity to modify their sailing plansbased on breaking news and unforeseen and unusual circumstances. Locate highway advisorysigns equipped with a flashing yellowbeacon along the highway in advance of ferry terminals toadvise motorists to tune in to thehighway advisory radio. Consider temporary highway advisoryradio signs when terminal projects will create traffic delays for long time periods. Locate ferryadvisory signs at the terminal to provide similar information as that of the HAR, but with theaddition of security information and regulatory information. The ferry advisory signs do notrequire flashing beacons.
(4) Internet
The internet is another source of wayfinding. Although not a terminal design element, the internetcanbe used in conjunction with terminal design to supplement terminal wayfinding systems.

• Contrast controls on visual output
• Volume controls on auditory output
• Choice of language on speech output
• Closed captioning on television networks
• Signs with light-on-dark visual contrast
• Instruction that presents material both orally and visually
• Large-print labels on equipment control buttonsWSF currently provides audible messaging at its terminals to accommodate theblind/lowvisionpopulation and is working towards incorporating visual paging to accommodate the deaf/hard ofhearing population.

In addition to mandated requirements for disabled access, growing segments of the Americanpopulation require other needs accommodations. Universal Design is a term applied to providingfacilities and products that are inherently accessible to bothpeople without disabilities and peoplewithdisabilities. Beloware some examples of howsignage and wayfinding is applied to ADAand Universal Design.
• Bright and appropriate lighting
• Clear lines of sight to reduce dependence on sound
• Use of meaningful icons with text labels
• Auditory output redundant with information on visual displays
• Visual output redundant with information in auditory output
• Contrast controls on visual output
• Volume controls on auditory output
• Choice of language on speech output
• Closed captioning on television networks
• Signs with light-on-dark visual contrast
• Instruction that presents material both orally and visually
• Large-print labels on equipment control buttonsWSF currently provides audible messaging at its terminals to accommodate theblind/lowvisionpopulation and is working towards incorporating visual paging to accommodate the deaf/hard ofhearing population. Provide visual paging information for all electronic sign systems inconsultation with WSDOT’s ADA Manager. See Electronic and Information TechnologyAccessibility Standards (Section 508), Subpart B for specific information on technologyrequirements. Refer to the ADA Standards for Accessible Design for the physical mounting ofvisual paging signs, colors of signs, and size of signs.

(3) Toll Plaza Signage
The toll plaza is a very busy location for signage. There are numerous messages to convey totheterminal user, and the space canbe quite congested. Use care in locating signage so that it can beeasily seen, read and understood.
(a) Advance Signing
Advance signing is recommended especially where Electronic Fare Collection (EFC) andother mixed payment types are combined at toll plazas. The advance signs should warn of theToll Plaza Ahead and, if appropriate, regulatory signs should identify which lanes to use foreachpayment type and any vehicle restrictions. Toll rate information should also be includedonthe advance signs or supplemental signs to give motorists notice of the required paymentat the toll booths.
(b) Lane -use Signals
Lane-use signals are used at toll lanes to indicate an open or closed status. WSF istransitioning away from the use of the downward pointing green arrowto indicate a lane isopenand a red X to indicate a lane is closed(see Exhibit 570-18) in favor of EMS signs at thetoll booths which indicate “open” in green, “closed” in red or a particular function suchas“pre-ticketed vehicles only” in green(see Exhibit 570-17).
