• Abstract:
  This is the second and final report of Research Project 1-18-83-277 entitled "Functionality of Urban Freeway Guide Signing." This research project was designed to determine the legibility and target value of urban freeway guide signs both lighted and unlighted for signs made from the most commonly used reflective and non-reflective backgrounds. This report presents the results of a target value study and a questionnaire and telephone survey to determine various state policies with respect to sign lighting, sign materials used, and factors taken into consideration when deciding to light or not light a sign. The report includes a set of guidelines to be used by Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation for lighting of urban freeway guide signs.
