The primary purpose of the report was to evaluate driver performance and reaction when 'Do Not Enter' signs were encountered while 'driving' in the Driving Simulation Laboratory. Drivers were observed and questioned, and their responses measured as they unexpectedly encountered various sign configurations, colors, and messages. Red and white signs elicited earlier responses than did black and white signs, and more drivers responded correctly to the red and white signs. Preliminary evaluation was made of pavement marking arrows. The standard arrows were found to be less detectable than a modified arrow with a long narrow stem and sweptback arrowhead. (Author)
