Paths for All Partnership (2018) Signage Guidance for Outdoor Access. A Guide to Good Practice. Paths for All Partnership ISBN: None #

Signage is one of the most important tools for the management of responsible access. It is first and foremost a simple and effective method of communication between the people who own or manage land and water and those who take access on it. Signs offer an obvious welcome and have a significant role to play in promoting paths and encouraging and supporting people in their use. This will help everyone to take access responsibly and allow land and access managers to carry out operations safely and provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.  

This guidance covers all aspects of outdoor access signage and is aimed at access staff, countryside rangers, land managers, community groups (including health walk co-ordinators) and anybody involved in path or site management. It supersedes and greatly expands on the advice given in the Advisory Signage Guide published by Paths for All and Scottish Natural Heritage in June 2007. Weblink
