Where am I?
When driving through city streets we experience signage overload. If we are looking for McDonalds, or Burger King, we can spot their signs from a block away. The same is the case for Mercodona, Consum, or Carrefour. No problem in finding them.
Telepizza is easy to find, as is Dominoes’ Pizza. Media Market just jumps right out into your face. El Corte Ingles’ is the big boy that you couldn’t miss, even if you wanted to. In fact, most shops are well signposted. My problem is with the street names. They are all posted on postage stamp-sized signs with lettering as fine as the small print in contracts.
So what’s wrong with this picture? We need to know firstly what street this is, and we need to be able to see the sign and to be able to read it.
Please, City Hall, help us!
