A three-year research project evaluated driver understanding of traffic control devices in Texas border areas. The report describes the activities and findings of the third and final year of the research study. In the third years, two surveys were conducted in both border and non-border locations. The passenger car driver survey addressed the Stop for School Bus, Fasten Safety Belts, and Right Lane Ends sign. A total of 1,344 passenger car drivers took part in the survey. The truck driver survey addressed the Weigh Station, Weight Limit, Load Zoned Bridge, and Hazardous Cargo signs, plus the sign shape/color code. Spanish-language alternative legends were developed for each of the word message signs. A total of 525 truck drivers took part in the survey.
