Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between the legibility of overhead signs and the brightness configurations which can result when various vehicle, sign, and roadway lighting conditions exist for a number of commonly used high type sign materials, The effects of the variables are expressed in legibility distances to enable the designer to compare the relative improvements in legibility for various sign-illumination systems.
