Rather than a view of the road itself, this drawing focuses on the small signs that guided drivers along it, grouped into regulatory, interpretive, and informational types. Those three categories reflect how the Parkway was designed to be read: speed limits and warnings, explanations of nearby history and geology, and directions to overlooks, campgrounds, and services. Construction began in 1935 and the Parkway was not finished until 1987, so its signage developed over many decades, shaped by National Park Service design standards meant to blend with the surrounding mountains.
