What Are Informational Signs?

Informational signs, also known as info signs, informative signs, or guide signs, serve a vital purpose: they convey essential details clearly and effectively. These signs may offer directions, warnings, rules, emergency procedures, or public notices. Whether they are installed on a roadway, inside a building, or in an outdoor facility, these signs help people navigate unfamiliar spaces and stay safe. Common examples of informational signs include:

Informative road signs that indicate exits, destinations, or highway routes
Warning signage that alerts individuals to restricted areas or environmental hazards
Evacuation plan signs and emergency route signage for safety compliance
Accessible parking signs for ADA-accessible spaces
Facility-specific instruction signs, such as allergy notice signs or restroom information signs

TODO can help you determine the right type of sign for your location, ensuring compliance with relevant standards such as ADA, MUTCD, OSHA, or local Boston ordinances.

Types of Informational Signs We Provide

Traffic Signs and Road Signage

Road signs are one of the most widely used types of informational signage. At TODO, we manufacture traffic signs that meet the strict requirements set by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) as well as state and city regulations. We offer signage for every stage of traffic management, including:

Regulatory signs: stop, yield, no parking, 1-hour parking signs
Warning signs: curves ahead, road construction, restricted area signs
Guide and destination signs: national highway route signs, park entrances, public facility directions
Digital and changeable message signs: ideal for construction zones or emergency communication
Reflective 911 address signs for residential and emergency service use
Directional road signage types for local streets and private property

Our signs are manufactured using rust-proof aluminum, high-intensity reflective sheeting, and UV-stable ink to ensure optimal performance and visibility in any weather.

Warning and Safety Signs

Safety signage plays a critical role in reducing risk and enhancing awareness in environments like factories, schools, office buildings, public parks, and healthcare facilities. Clear signage that communicates warnings and protocols can prevent injury and ensure compliance with legal requirements. We produce a wide range of safety and warning signs, including:

Fire and emergency evacuation signs
Emergency access only signs and emergency evacuation route signs
Inclement weather closed signs
Warning restricted area sign (military and secured zones)
COVID reminder signs and COVID testing site signage
Allergy notice signs and disclaimer notice signs

We fabricate these signs using durable materials suitable for indoor or outdoor use, including aluminum, acrylic, corrugated plastic, and vinyl. Custom shapes and sizes are available to suit your space and branding requirements.

Guide and Directional Signs

Guide and informational signage are key to helping people navigate complex spaces. These signs often include visual symbols, directional arrows, or map-based information that allows visitors to find their way. Common types of guide and directional signs include:

Hospital direction signs
Public transportation and bus destination signs
Park map signs and national park information signs
Destination traffic signs for entrances and exits
Zoo animal information signs and general information signs for educational spaces
Information booth signs and visitor welcome signage

Whether you're managing a public park, university, healthcare campus, or museum, our design team can create signage that is functional, branded, and visually consistent across your facility.

Business and Facility Informational Signs

Beyond public safety and traffic signage, informational signs are a daily necessity in workplaces, schools, and commercial buildings. These signs are often used to communicate policies, hours of operation, or building-specific instructions. Examples of business and facility signs include:

“Office temporarily closed” signs
“Out of office, will return” signs
Bathroom instruction signs
No construction access signs
No self-service signs
Visitors, please sign in signs
Card payment only signs
Important information signs for employees or customers

These types of signs improve clarity, reinforce policies, and help create a more organized and professional environment.
