Problem

Paths drawn abstractly on a plan, with no visible goal in sight along the way, feel directionless to someone walking them, so people wander off to follow whatever they can actually see.

Solution

Route every path from one visible landmark to the next, so people follow it because they can see where it leads, rather than obeying an abstract line laid down on paper.
