Lack of Signage

Just a random thought... it was brought to my attention today (thanks to the CNN coverage of the inauguration) that large events often times do not have adequate signs letting people know where to go or what is currently happening.

According to CNN's anchors even they weren't sure of where to go today. I'm writing this to remind myself later that large events are good venues for enhanced signage. These large events filled with people need to know where to go for various aspects of the event and how to navigate from here to there within the crowds. With such large events such as the inaugural address, it's the perfect opportunity for signs that can interact with people or can change as new information becomes available (maybe areas that have become too crowded or others that still have space available).

Just thoughts, not sure where it's going or if it's helpful yet.
