overhead signs
Markers hung above
Overhead signs are signs mounted above rather than beside what they reference—typically suspended from ceilings, hung from poles, or attached to bridges and overpasses.
In traffic contexts, they display lane assignments, exits, and speed limits: The overhead sign said the left lane was exit only.
In retail spaces, overhead signs help shoppers navigate departments and aisles.
