Not to go against the grain here, but when it comes to wayfinding, the answer is rarely “people are just ignorant and uninformed.” You need to adapt the system to humans, not close your eyes and hope humans will adapt to the system (a bit like how just posting a speed limit of 30 on freeway-sized roads won’t actually make people go 30). We can easily forget that as transit and urbanism nerds.
Someone who uses a transportation network as a means of getting from point A to point B, who may not speak the language, who may not even be tech-literate enough to use a mapping application, will not pick up on the fact that “those doors look metro-y.” Signage needs to be consistent, and in this case it is an aberration that there is no metro sign at this entrance. It’s up to the expert to cater to those who know absolutely nothing about the network.
If this entrance was another building or there was other usages to it, yes definitely a sign above the door would be necessary, but we are in the Square Victoria, there is only one structure that leads underground, to the station with the same name, at this point its still clear. The other entrance have the same logo on a post near to it (agreed the other one is literally hidden in the trees)
Exactly. That’s all I’m saying. Sign or no sign they need to improve this situation. It should be visible from all 4 sides and closer to the entrance if not attached to it.
Quand on pousse les portes et qu’on rentre dans l’édicule, la mention “Métro” y est clairement indiquée avec une flèche vers le bas. Il y a aussi une photo d’une rame de métro de 1966 juste au dessus de la porte Je suis persuadé qu’une personne normalement autonome peut s’y retrouver

Les 6 stations avec des bandeaux de quai festif. Le cours normal de mes publications devrait normalement tranquillement reprendre, tout dépendant de mon niveau d’énergie.
