To assess driver distraction because of video advertising signs, eye fixation data were collected from subjects who passed four video advertising signs, three at downtown intersections and one on an urban expressway. On average, drivers glanced at the signs on 45% of the occasions on which the signs were present. When drivers looked, they made 1.9 glances, on average, with an average duration per glance of 0.48 s. The distribution of eye fixations on intersection approaches where video signs were visible was compared with that on approaches on which video signs were not visible. No significant differences were found in the number of glances made at traffic signals or street signs. On the video approach, a greater proportion of glances were made at the speedometer and rearview mirrors. Glances were made at short headways and occasionally in unsafe circumstances. In the downtown area, glances at static commercial signs were made at larger angles and at shorter headways than was the case for video signs. A comparison of the results with those of other studies showed that video signs were less likely to be looked at than traffic signs (about half the time versus virtually every time, respectively) and that individual average glance durations and total durations were similar to those found for traffic signs in rural environments. These results apply to particular video signs in particular environments. Another on-road study indicates that a video sign on a curve that is close to the line of sight and visible for an extensive period is particularly distracting.
