redirect URI.escape("/#{params["/signatures/new"]}") You need to pass a string of "/signatures/new" to the redirect method.

The error message you get says "you need to pass a string of "/signatures/new" to the redirect." It means that literally. Just pass the string - not a param. This should work fine:
redirect URI.escape("/signatures/new")
