Port Everglades Installs New Electronic Signs

Port Everglades has installed new electronic signs to help guests more easily find their way to their cruise ships. "The new directional signs are a direct response to those cruise guests who told us that they sometimes find it difficult to navigate their way through the port on busy cruise days," said Port Everglades Director Phil Allen. "The sign program is another customer service feature that makes Port Everglades stand out from other cruise ports." An independent traffic consultant was contracted to analyze cruise passenger traffic patterns within Port Everglades and design programmable, electronic signs that are easily identifiable and readable. As a result, new custom-designed variable message signs, made by Daktronics, have been installed at the port's 11 full-time cruise terminals and two parking garages. Larger signs greet guests at Port Everglades' three main entrances, providing ship names and cruise terminal locations in a rotating format. Port personnel can control the electronic signs and quickly update them as needed. Static, color-coded way-finding signs are also being installed throughout the port to supplement the electronic signs. For more information, visit www.porteverglades.net or www.broward.org/port.
