What do people think are good signs? If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know? The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write down what you want to do. "Keep off the grass" is a very good example.
