San Ysidro Port of Entry pedestrian wayfinding design and directory map design.

RSM Design worked with U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), local agencies, and community advocates to create a set of signage and wayfinding guidelines that would serve as a road map for developing clear and easy to implement wayfinding from the international border crossing in San Ysidro, California.

San Ysidro Port of Entry case study

RSM Design worked to develop a color-coded set of icons and bilingual information to design a legible and consistent layout for implementation which included the distance and estimated travel times along important pedestrian paths. This information was then placed onto a flexible, durable system of sign designs with a small footprint for a crowded urban environment. The final signage guidelines were published on the GSA website as a resource for future development.
