surprise airport sign review

today's airport: CVG (Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport), aka the place ive been to probably at least 8 times in the past few years despite not having been on a plane in 14 years [and never having taken a flight to, from, or through CVG]

leading up to terminal

STARTING

at highway exit

i mean its alright

id like to see the first one have something like this [image to the right or below] next to the KY 212 instead of "To Ky 20" ["TO" could also be on left side of KY-20 shield]

and maybe more specific "Cincinnati Northern Kentucky (International or Intl) Airport" or "CVG (International or Intl) Airport" or something

but overall inoffensive

on the ramp

maybe make "AIRPORT" into "Airport" or "CVG Airport" or something, perchance add a line between the two directions, overall fine

[you could also probably do a KY 20 shield with an M4-5P "TO" plaque above and M6-1PL Left Arrow plaque below, and next to it have an I3-5 Airport sign with M6-1PR Right Arrow plaque below, to make it more picture focused rather than knowing the English language focused]

on road into airport

clearview spotted

potentially capitalize "Garage Parking" and "Long Term Parking"

maybe add a line between "Airport Terminal" and "Garage Parking"

remove the black background from KY 236 shield

and to make "Donaldson Rd" less awkward, you could split it across two lines like:

"Donaldson

Road"

(but center aligned)

but still inoffensive

offensive

BAD

DONT BLUE DIAMOND SIGN RP THIS

YOU CANT DO THAT

do a this maybe

its basically a diamond sign (30x30 or 36x36 or something) on its side to make a square

changed to yellow and black

cause i seen indianapolis does that

which makes sense

cause as far as i know, staging is for emergencies

the north route ends at the airport fire station

and the airport info sign, change that to "AIRPORT INFO (DIAL TO) 1610 AM"

[↓ there is a specific sign for this, actually ↓]

not really a road sign cause off the road like a billboard but economy lot should be listed on guide signs (valupark is long term parking)

its alright, the boarder is a bit thick though and maybe make "Commercial Vehicles" all caps or reword to "COMMERCIAL VEHICLES KEEP RIGHT" or something

again maybe capitalize stuff on the left sign and same comments from earlier for the right sign (plus add "ECONOMY PARKING"), still inoffensive

still offensive

hopital sign fine

overhead arrow per lane sign [!!!]

same capitalization comment and also

i would think that you would have a "1/4 MILE" somewhere there [because the actual split is 1/3 mile away]

but the quarter second glance at the mutcd gives me mixed signals on where to put and whether to put

fix the dividing line mess and capitalization and perfect

uh oh

this is why i redoin

cause past a certain point

EVERYTHING IS BLUE

da ba dee da ba die

MAKE GREEN

ADD SEPARATING LINE BETWEEN ENTRIES

maybe change to Type B arrows

also in front of this sign in modern times is a little YOUR SPEED sign trailer

so like

put some beacon lights or LEDs around the speed limit signs

because for some reason its 20 MPH through here, without design changes from the interstate

BLUE

also not quite sure why the parking garage sign is separate from the other thing [or more accurately, why the two lanes on the right are combined into one sign that looks like it should be two]

make green add line

more space between arrivals and baggage claim because baggage claim got spread across two lines

type b arrows

i think this ones supposed to light up

also squared out to respect illuminatedness of sign

should i be changing font size

also

wait

why does valet change lanes?

it was in the left lane earlier

now its in the right lane

the hell cvg

i dont really feel like fixing their mistake

so imagine that the earlier sign changes whatever to whatever

make it fixed

get rid of this shitty banner

put this on a post behind it

this one isnt adjusted for illuminescense

round mccorners

the terminal (arrivals)

(starring Tom Hanks)

oh boy

time to figure out how the hell to make colors work

and to a lesser extent the sign over on the right

solution: make blue area A area

and green area B area

[blank string to make signs align]

maybe throw this sign in there somewhere before

[not sure why sign on right has down and down right arrows, do you want to separate the two pickup zones or not?]

[mixed case red background arial font shittyness]

option 1

option 2

worlds most stupidest signs ever

make it say "HEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC" or have the pedestrian symbol or at least "SLOW DOWN"

[I debated on whether to say "NO LOADING" or "NO WAITING" or "NO STOPPING". They're all applicable, but whenever I see "NO STOPPING" or "NO STANDING" I always get a little confused on what they mean versus "PARKING", and if I, Roadsign Autistic, M.D., am confused, that's not good. I could see someone less knowledgeable being confused on whether to stop at all (including at stop signs), like how on freeways there's "EMERGENCY STOPPING ONLY". I decided "NO LOADING" because it got the point across best with the least confusion]

greenetize and perchance capitalize

[optional change]

plus a this or warning variant somewhere down [the road]

leaving the terminal

[I both get why they went with the diagonal arrow (the road curves to the left and there's an intersection ahead) and feel like a straight arrow would be more correct technically]
