The present study examined driver efficiency in route-following under different types of direction-finding aids. The purpose was to gain an understanding of motorist direction-finding problems and to propose some potential solutions. To accomplish this, two experiments were conducted to investigate driver performance following a missed freeway exit navigational error. In both experiments subjects were forced to miss a critical freeway exit in a real driving situation while enroute to a predetermined destination. Their driving performance was observed as they attempted to correct the 'error' and continue to the destination.
