Research findings obtained under the project indicate that drivers require more time to read and interpret information on diagrammatic signs in comparison with conventional signs. Moreover, as the graphic component on the sign becomes more complex, driver information interpretation time increases. Accordingly, in those cases where diagrammatic sign
