1 European Best Practices in Vertical Signing Rik Nuyttens 3M Europe February 2015 Athens, Greece
2 Visibility & Safety for Life of the Road Basic Principles Sustainable Innovation Low Cost Measures for High Risk Areas High Accident Road Sections (Black Spots) Rail Road Crossings Construction Workzone Safety Schoolzone Safety
3 Quick Facts Driving is a highly visual task (some 1 say 90%) Total distance driven at night is 1/3 versus daytime But crashes are about the same day and night fatality rate x 3 during nighttime 2 Lack of visibility at night is a significant challenge for drivers 1. Kline et al, Vision, Aging, and Driving: The Problems of Older Drivers, March 1991, The Journal of Gerontology 2. US Federal Highway Administration, 3. Schnell, T., Yekhshatyan, L., Daiker, R., Konz, J., Effect of Luminance on Information Acquisition Time and Accuracy from Traffic Signs. Paper accepted for presentation and publication, Transportation Research Record, Journal of the Transportation Research Board, Full report available at 3M All Rights Reserved.
4 Challenges Increasing number of vehicles More kilometers traveled by person Increasing heavy vehicle traffic Congestion in and around cities Pollution
5 Other challenges Aging population Vulnerable road users (pedestrians / cyclists)

16 h Where do drivers read signs? Where can we first start reading signs? Legibility index is measure of the reading distance as a function of letter height (with adequate contrast) D/h = 500 (or 5 m/cm of letter height) 1 Do drivers read the signs at 5 m /cm? Not necessarily. Reading occurs in a range, typically around 4 m/cm. Younger people sooner than elder. Motorway signs use 30 cm letter height, to allow enough time. 1. Mace, D.
