Selecting an appropriate product from the family of wayfinding signs available will depend on the scheme objectives and footway space available. On-street ‘liths’ include finder maps (a five-minute walk) and planner maps (a 15-minute walk) taken from the Legible London basemap, complete with 3D buildings, walking circle, ‘you are here’ marker and off-map tabs along with a panel for directional information. ’Liths’ should typically be located within the furniture zone, with the map face oriented down the street. Placement should be a minimum 450mm from the kerb edge, and increased to 800mm on flush surfaces or where road speeds are 40mph or greater. Designers should avoid locating signage where vehicle overrun is likely, such as near inset loading bays or on tight street corners. Sufficient space should be provided on both sides of the sign for pedestrians to view the ‘lith’ from either side. ‘Liths’ should not be placed facing a wall, and this placement will only be approved in exceptional circumstances. A temporary on-street cover should be provided once the placement has been agreed and the foundation has been installed. Heads-up mapping artwork can then be produced from this location and the sign installed once manufactured.

However, map-based Legible London products are to be prioritised over fingerposts. Fingerslats can be installed on existing lamp columns where possible, or at low level on pedestrian guardrails. Designers should ensure that the sign allows for a minimum clearance of 450mm away from the kerb edge for any part of the sign, including the fingers. This can mean that the pole for the sign needs to be mounted more than 1,000mm from the kerb edge, which will not be appropriate in many situations. Figure 245: Legible London’s finger post The use of fingerposts is limited to areas with a sufficiently wide footway such that the post does not impede the footway clear zone or the sign overhang the carriageway. Blue TSRGD approved fingerposts exist on parts of the TLRN and should be maintained until replacement is required. When replacement is required, Legible London branded signage should be used to maintain consistency across the TLRN, unless it forms part of a wider borough route signage strategy. Information signage: • Any third party information signage proposed for the TLRN which does not follow the Legible London template, requires Legible London programme team consent • Non-standard products may be considered in exceptional locations for heritage areas, landmark sites, or to fit with adjoining signage strategies • All information boards must be in accordance with TSRGD, Schedule 4 Authorisation Only TfL has the authority to erect pedestrian signs on the TLRN. Permission should be sought from the property owner for erecting signs on to building frontages. The safe operation of wayfinding signs should be assessed via the Road Safety Audit process to ensure the installation does not hinder visibility and sightlines.
