[0002] Signs are usually installed in or around airport terminals. Signs usually use iconic text to remind passengers, guide passengers, and lead passengers to find directions or determine their locations, so that passengers can find their destinations in time. Therefore, the use of signs plays a very important role.

[0003] However, most signboards only provide guidance on one side, which means that passengers must reach one side of the signboard to see the guidance content on the signboard, greatly reducing the convenience of passengers' travel. Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport Co., Ltd. uses double-sided guidance signs, so that both sides of the signboard can provide guidance to walking passengers.
