Abstract:This report describes the tasks conducted during the first year of a three-year study evaluating the use of guide signs on conventional highways in rural areas. The tasks were concentrated in four basic activity areas: 1) assessment of current practice, 2) identification of driver information needs, 3) evaluation of guide sign legibility, and 4) identification of potential study sites. Some of the first-year tasks include: a survey of TxDOT district signing practices, a driver survey assessing the information needs of drivers and their understanding of conventional guide signs, an evaluation of the legibility of the State Highway and Farm-to-Market Road (F.M.) route markers and two designs for cardinal direction markers.
