They need to get better signs for the split between regular, preferred and handicap parking.

I don‘t have a picture of it and found the screenshot of Epcot below on Google Street View, but I can never read these tiny signs until I’m on top of them, and it always causes problems with cars merging left and right at the last moment. It’s ridiculous and a pet peeve of mine.

With larger signs earlier and/or writing on the road the traffic would flow so much better. They may also not need a cast member there if the signs were better. That person can go drive a tram.

I couldn't agree more.

I feel like the current situation was the result of the introduction of Preferred Parking (to validate entry to the preferred lot) and an early period experimentinvolving variable message signs.

I wish they would instead have overhead variable message lane assignment signs. It would be easier to read and look less cluttered.

Universal is the same way, I think the signs are standard design and way too small

Buena Vista Drive has become increasingly congested now that so many people use it to get to western way, I’m wondering if these signs will be used to help suggest alternate routes for guests. Example if you’re going from Disney Springs to All Stars or DAK Lodge during busy times it might be better to take victory way or world drive to Osceola parkway and help alleviate traffic on BV drive. Just my thought based on where I have been seeing these pop up.

That was my thought as well, try to encourage some to take an alternate route through property and inform of any backups/delays.

When I think about parking at Universal I just want to punch a wall.

Way too many times at Disney/Universal do I see cars make wild maneuvers to get to the correct lane. You would think the same person responsible for requiring all the new safety systems implemented throughout the parks would notice that potential issue.
