The report describes the tasks conducted during the first year of a three-year study evaluating the use guide signs on conventional highways in rural areas. The tasks were concentrated in four basic activity areas: (1) assessment of current practice, (2) identification of driver information needs, (3) evaluation of guide sign legibility, and (4) identification of potential study sites. Some of the first year tasks include: a survey of TxDOT district signing practices, a driver survey assessing the information needs of drivers and their understanding of conventional guide signs, an evaluation of the legibility of the State Highway and Farm-to-Market Road (F.M.) route markers and two designs for cardinal direction markers.
