Description

A diamond shaped, red, metal sign with white lettering made for the North Eastern Railway. The lettering on each line of text is different sizes, fonts and cases. The sign is a safety notice, indicating the weight limit for vehicles crossing this particular railway bridge

Community curation written by a member of the Community Co-production group, who has lived experience of disability, D/deafness and/or neurodivergence: “This sign would be a nightmare for a lot of people – people with sight loss, people who might have processing conditions, and people for whom reading and comprehension might be difficult. That text, being all different sizes – some of that is tiny! Different fonts, uppercase and lowercase, sentences cut off halfway through. It’s a mess! I hope it wasn’t telling us anything important.”
