Latvian Opening Times¶

In Rīga I noticed that most shops had interesting signs for their opening times, Darba Laiks
. Those had a little list of the days in the week, with the respective opening times behind them. Frequently each day was also represented by a circle which was filled for ‘full’ opening times and semi-filled for reduced opening times on Saturday and empty when the shop was closed on Sundays. I thought that was an interesting way of giving people a quick idea of what’s going on in a graphical way in addition to the written information. While not every shop had exactly the same design, they seemed so widespread that I started wondering whether there’s some kind of regulation behind it.
