      Thanks! For the locality maps, I took reference from https://www.wayfounded.com/new-transit-signage-manual/ for the sizing and layout. For the font, I won’t be able to share it publicly as it’s a copyrighted font.

         How do you change the colour of the train direction arrows after you took reference from there?

      Well, its quite a bit of work but I’ll summarize.

      First, i took reference from https://www.wayfounded.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/pf-tsm-05.png
      using the size given, i recreated the template using Adobe Illustrator, with elements from existing documents online, like the system map. If it’s not available online, I recreate it in Illustrator.
      The fonts to use are Stroudley and LTA Identity.

      Next, I take a screenshot on OneMap.sg of the area that will be used for for the locality map, big enough to fill the area of the map, using the 50m legend as a size guide. Overlay the map on to the template to the correct size.

      I then recreated each individual buildings that fits the requirements based on the Content Entry Criteria from the link provided above. Filling in the MRT lines, roads, cycling paths and other details needed.

   Hi,
   Good Work, the legibility of signage is quiet well.
   What is the height of signage, Text and arrow?
   Thanks
