 then be placed in accordance with the normal rules for symbols (i.e. at the opposite end of the tourist attraction name to the arrow). Where the aircraft symbol is used to denote an airport, this would generally be placed to the right of the airport name. Where the airport name is the same as the place name destination along the same route, the aircraft symbol may be used on its own on a separate line ranged left. For some sign face designs it may be appropriate to centre a symbol above or below its associated legend (e.g. lorry or ferry symbol).

Many symbols have a directional element to their design and these are listed at Appendix B. If the arrow is pointing ahead or left (at any angle) the symbol should face left, otherwise the symbol should face right. The aircraft symbol may be rotated to point in the same direction as the arrow, except that the symbol should never point below the horizontal. Where the arrow inclines downwards the aircraft symbol should be horizontal, facing left or right as appropriate. Figure 4-8 shows how an inclined aircraft symbol is positioned alongside a tiled legend. 33
