the 2nd sign that traffic mets from the Auchtertool direction is this one which sits on the right hand side of the road showing that a roundabout is the next junction and differernt directions can be selected.
this roadsign is in Abbotshall Road at Beveridge Park and it informs traffic that the roundabout approaching is key to decision making for drivers.It has a brown inset panel to inform of tourist/visitor points of interest.
the sign here is located closer to the civic town centre. It continues the directional routes in and through the town as traffic approaches the roundabout at ADAM SMITH THEATRE CENTRE

Today is a production day.  Over the last 2 weekends I have gathered a series of photographs of the road signs and directional wayfinding  signage  that lead from the fringes and main entry points to Kirkcaldy. Most road trafffic access the town from the Main A92 bypass road at both KIRKCALDY WEST and KIRKCALDY EAST junctions.

Based on initial observations it is clear that although there is evidence of wayfinding and directional signage, there are particular areas where clarity of direction is NOT  clear.

The following post after thsi eentry will show pictorial evidence of these comments.

This is a page from WALLPAPER MAGAZINE and I have selected page 129 which has some information on architectural schemes.
The magazine has a very controlled style of page layout which is based on a 3 column grid but with images and text block interspaced in a grid frames of different but in ratio scales.
