  • Abstract
    The author comments on the use of graphic information systems, i.e. signs. The US is still largely oriented toward words rather than pictorial diagrams to convey key information simply and quickly. The Washington, DC Mall and Zoo are given as examples of off-highway locations where more universal symbols are replacing verbiage.
