Effective mobility depends upon proper orientation; for mainstream society this is accomplished by printed signs. People who are print disabled, are blind, or have other visual impairments are at a disadvantage for the lack of labels and signs. For sighted travelers, signs provide identification and directions. In the broadest sense, signs comprise a menu of choices for travelers; they confront them with the options available at any given point in their travels. In a sense, signs act as a form of memory for travelers; signs 'remind' travelers about important characteristics of the environment.

These published proceedings are the result of a 'call for papers.' We were interested in research from colleagues throughout the country on similar topics. The papers collected herein indicate a variety of interests in walking: walking for exercise; safe journeys to school; a return to a walkable city; the effects of bicycling on cities; and alternative modes of transit for older residents. There are also papers on safety problems -- for workmen, safety at intersections and at left turns.
