In the company of a sighted person I recently went to the Port Authority 
bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan. We were looking for the location of 
ticket windows for a particular bus company and then the location of a 
particular bus. There were many many signs. Unfortunately, many of them 
had arrows pointing in misleading directions. By following information on 
a sign, we kept finding ourselves in entirely thw wrong place. We ended up 
consulting a harrassed commutor, also no cops or personnel to ask.

Signs are often over-rated. Information often changes, but the signs 
remain.
