Streetscape Guidance Executive Summary 6 A recommended palette of materials is included in the Guidance. Every team that contributes to the look and feel of the streetscape of the TLRN is encouraged to use the recommended materials and street furniture across the TLRN. The materials selected for the palette are durable, unobtrusive and meet the needs of all road users. The recommendations have been endorsed by London Remade, following their sustainability audit of a sample of the materials in the palette. We recognise, however, that a ‘one size fits all approach’ is not always successful and exceptions are made to enable the use of particular materials outside the recommended palette to reflect special circumstances.

For stand-alone pedestrian direction signs on the TLRN, or where borough designs are not considered appropriate, signage is to be of a simple contemporary design as shown. All pedestrian direction signs erected on the TLRN must comply with the Traffic sign regulations and general directions. The minimum clearance on cycle routes is 2400mm and on equestrian routes is 2800mm.

The key principles of this approach are: s One system to learn and remember s Supplying the right amount of information at the right time s Connecting areas, regions and transport systems s Fewer signs s An effective high quality system which benefits from economies of scale in purchasing and maintenance Spatial wayfinding offers the user more interpretive information and provides flexibility in an urban setting. The Legible London project uses progressive disclosure to support the development of mental mapping and hence confidence to navigate journeys on foot. The power of the system lies in a consistency of approach to area and neighbourhood nomenclature across London. As the system evolves the data would be made available to authorities and developers to ensure consistency. However, as Legible London is a wayfinding tool, it is not intended that the system would censor the provision of localised information (eg, town centre shopping maps) where it is more timely or relevant to produce this at a very local scale. Further work on the prototype and subsequent pilots will establish the interfaces between such localised information and the framework of walking wayfinding.
