Better signage or lighting is definitely needed!

Also on BART (which I also use just about every day): I notice that at Coliseum station there are signs on the pillars on the platform telling which side to use for trains going to Fremont or to SF & Richmond. Apparently this is for sports fans. However, these handy signs would also be extremely useful at stations such as 12th Street and 19th Street — I have had to offer directions at least once a week to people who land on the platform and don’t know which side to use after that.
