This article presents the results of a content analysis of 60 signals, randomly selected, aimed at citizen conviviality, randomly chosen, located in public spaces, socioplaces, and No-places. The analysis is based on the function promoted by the signals, their perceptual characteristics, location, the type of social rule demanded to follow, and whether macro or metacontingencies are established in them to encourage urban-responsible behaviors (CUR). The results reflect that the signs are oriented towards safety, hygiene, mobility, environmental care, and heritage preservation; they differ in terms of the type of benefit or sanction they announce for following or not the rule; they do not follow a unified pattern in their design; and there are few that articulate the collective benefit of adhering to the rules. The importance of city administrations is discussed in designing signage oriented towards the compliance of rules that promote CUR within an integrated system that defines their perceptual characteristics, informs citizens about the results of following coexistence rules through macro and metacontingencies, and plans their location within urban space.
