Surface Navigation Help For Subway Riders

This is a good idea.  I can’t tell you how many times I have walked a block in the wrong direction coming out of a Subway station.  Even in DC where I spent the first 22 years of my life I did the same thing.  When I come out of the 8th ave L, I come out a different hole every time and I have no fucking clue which way to walk.  In the article people complain that no one is going to notice them, but if they were everywhere people would know to look for them and they would look down before getting slightly lost.  I don’t know, it makes a lot of sense to me.  What do you think?

    I don’t think it’s super necessary. I just look at the signs as I’m getting out of the station… if it says “SE corner” or something and I know I have to go north (or west), I just cross the street. If I have to go south (or east), I stay on that side of the street and walk. Know what I mean? I do like this idea though, it may save time.

    I think it’s a good idea. Directions and I don’t mix.
