A video cassette technique was developed to present road symbol signing and the roadway environment in a laboratory setting. This methodology was compared to standard employed written responses of sign meaning or definition and driver action or behavior. Both technique and response type were evaluated using six symbol signs. These were the signal ahead sign, shoulder drop-off sign, truck tipping sign, school zone sign, narrow bridge sign, and lane drop-off sign. Specific conclusions have been made with respect to technique, response type, and the responses associated with each sign evaluated. Responses using the video cassette technique were significantly more correct, indicating that signs not viewed in their appropriate environments are significantly underrated.
