Abstract:Studies have shown that older drivers have higher rates of accidents, injuries, and fatalities on a per-mile-driven basis. A major cause of
roadway accidents for older drivers is failure to heed traffic signs.
Previous research found that older drivers have difficulty detecting, reading, understanding, and responding to some symbolic traffic signs. This study examines ways to make signs more comprehensible to older drivers.
