Latvian Opening Times¶
120 words on Travel
In Rīga I noticed that most shops had interesting signs for their opening times, Darba Laiks
. Those had a little list of the days in the week, with the respective opening times behind them. Frequently each day was also represented by a circle which was filled for ‘full’ opening times and semi-filled for reduced opening times on Saturday and empty when the shop was closed on Sundays. I thought that was an interesting way of giving people a quick idea of what’s going on in a graphical way in addition to the written information. While not every shop had exactly the same design, they seemed so widespread that I started wondering whether there’s some kind of regulation behind it.
Latvian signs for opening times seemed quite standardised and interestingly designed to me when visiting Rīga this summer. August 16, 2010, 23:02
