Signs allow you to put in fun little easter eggs for other players to find and interact with in the world. Besides acting as a viewable item in the game, these also allow you to provide other porters a hand by providing a few buffs, such as speeding up the vehicles and restoring stamina.

To use them, hold down on d-pad and then choose the corresponding sign. There will be a few submenus that will contain the various signs available for your use in the game. You can place them in various parts of the in-game world, and other players might be able to interact with them.

The person who interacts will receive a passive buff based on the sign, and you will receive likes as your reward.
