Guerrilla wayfinding: subway compasses are back
June 22nd, 2010 at 12:18 am ETSubway compasses are back, this time in guerrilla form rather than in the sanitized form they took a few years ago in the DOT’s test. They’re apparently popping up all over town; I ‘ve seen three of them within a couple of days, including this one outside the 72nd Street 1-2-3 station.
Popping out of the subway in an unfamiliar location can be disorienting even for locals; I think this kind of wayfinding signage is really helpful, and I hope the MTA or DOT doesn’t do something foolish like scrub them all away.
