- Before you set up signs, develop a cycle network or cycle routes without gaps. Find out about regional, national and international cycle routes and integrate them into your local system.
- Use an established and proven sign system. Ask for national recommendations, make sure that your neighbours use the same signage system and continue your routes as well as you continue theirs.
- Prioritize readability for cyclists on their way when you look for places to put the signposts. A single missing sign can make a route unusable. Choose material that will not be affected by sun, weather or vandalism.
- If you develop an overall signing system for your area, think about combination with other systems (for example: Number of sign in combination with GPS-coordinates can be information about position for emergency system as well as for maintenance systems).
