This paper covers research findings on digital projections on the road. Data is provided for the root cause analysis of non-existing distraction proven by several studies. The study describes if and in which geometrical space road projections are visible to other road traffic participants. Such participants can be e.g. oncoming, passing drivers or pedestrians standing aside the road. The paper data shows where projections are recognizable and assignable to the original intention of the projection. A grid was created to identify the areas where digital projections could be understood and where the digital projections were just illegible. A dominant factor is the grazing incidence. The photons are distributed over a larger area and only the driver’s view makes a virtual compression of the illuminated area in order to make the signals legible. The results show that distraction for other road participants is unlikely for any position outside very limited areas. The dynamic “readability map” of digital road projections is given. Projections have been found to be predominantly visible for overtaking vehicles in the neighboring lane. In case of oncoming vehicles, due to the relative speed of both vehicles it appears impossible to read or in addition feel distracted.
