2B-1 Application of Regulatory Signs Regulatory
6. REGULATORY SIGNS 2B-1 Application of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs inform highway users of traffic laws or regulations and indicate the applicability of legal requirements that would not oth- erwise be apparent. These signs shall be erected wherever needed to fulfill this purpose, but unnecessary mandates should be avoided. The laws of many States specify that certain regulations are enforceable only when made known by official signs. Some regulatory signs are related to operational controls but do not impose any obligations or prohibitions. For example, signs giving ad- vance notice of or marking the end of a restricted zone are included in the regulatory group. Regulatory signs normally shall be erected at those locations where regulations apply. The sign message shall clearly indicate the require- ments imposed by the regulation and shall be easily visible and legible to the vehicle operator. 2B-2 Classification of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs are classified in the following groups: 1. Right-of-way series: (a) STOP sign (sec. 2B-4 to 6) (b) YIELD sign (sec. 2B-7 to 9) 2. Speed series (sec. 2B-10 to 14) 3. Movement series: (a) Turning (see. 2B-15 to 19) (b) Alignment (sec. 2B-20 to 25) (c) Exclusion (see. 2B-26 to 28) (d) One Way (sec. 2B-29 to 30) 4. Parking series (see. 2B-31 to 34) 5. Pedestrian series (see. 2B-35 to 36) 6. Miscellaneous series (sec. 2B-37 to 44) 2B-3 Design of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs are rectangular, with the longer dimension vertical, and have black legend on a white background, except for those signs whose standards specify otherwise. -

Research Project Title: Traffic Control Devices for Drivers in Texas Border Areas 16. Abstract A three-year research project evaluated driver understanding of traffic control devices in Texas border areas. The report describes the activities and findings of the third and final year of the research study. In the third year, two surveys were conducted in both border and non-border locations. The passenger car driver survey addressed the Stop for School Bus, Fasten Safety Belts, and Right Lane Ends signs, plus the sign shape/color code. Spanish-language alternative legends were developed for each standard sign. -
Language Visibility, Language Rights and Language Policy
Language visibility, language rights and language policy. Findings by the Pan-South African Language Board on language rights complaints between 1997 and 2005 Theodorus du Plessis, University of the Free State, Bloomfontein, South Africa 1 INTRODUCTION The context of this paper is the changing face of the South African linguistic landscape. Two of the central discourses regarding this matter concern the “need for change”, on the one hand, and the “need for redress”, on the other. The need for change is reflected in the following quote from Sachs (1994:8): I think many people have failed to understand the full significance of the move from bilingualism to multilingualism. Bilingualism is relatively easy. It is everything times two and you can officialise everything and you can establish policies based on fluency in two languages for the whole country. Multilingualism is not bilingualism multiplied by five and a half. It does not mean that every road sign must be in 11 languages – we will not see the streets – and to give examples like that is to trivialise the deep content of multilingualism [own emphasis]. Essentially, the “need for change” involves a change from bilingual to multilingual. The pictures in Figure 1 illustrate this aspect of the changing linguistic landscape. The picture on the left was taken at the Mangaung Local Municipality in Bloemfontein, the central city of South Africa, while the one on the right was taken at the border between the Eastern Cape Province and the Northern Cape Province. The photograph on the left depicts a typical bilingual sign from the pre-1994 era, displaying Afrikaans and English. -
Traffic and Road Sign Recognition
Traffic and Road Sign Recognition Hasan Fleyeh This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Napier University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2008 Abstract This thesis presents a system to recognise and classify road and traffic signs for the purpose of developing an inventory of them which could assist the highway engineers’ tasks of updating and maintaining them. It uses images taken by a camera from a moving vehicle. The system is based on three major stages: colour segmentation, recognition, and classification. Four colour segmentation algorithms are developed and tested. They are a shadow and highlight invariant, a dynamic threshold, a modification of de la Escalera’s algorithm and a Fuzzy colour segmentation algorithm. All algorithms are tested using hundreds of images and the shadow-highlight invariant algorithm is eventually chosen as the best performer. This is because it is immune to shadows and highlights. It is also robust as it was tested in different lighting conditions, weather conditions, and times of the day. Approximately 97% successful segmentation rate was achieved using this algorithm. Recognition of traffic signs is carried out using a fuzzy shape recogniser. Based on four shape measures - the rectangularity, triangularity, ellipticity, and octagonality, fuzzy rules were developed to determine the shape of the sign. Among these shape measures octangonality has been introduced in this research. The final decision of the recogniser is based on the combination of both the colour and shape of the sign. The recogniser was tested in a variety of testing conditions giving an overall performance of approximately 88%. -

International Road Signs Leaflet
International Road Signs Leaflet Edition 2008 A Comprehensive list of unusual road signs by country © AIT-FIA Information Centre (OTA) Preface This third edition of the International Road Signs leaflet includes three new countries (Kuwait, Latvia and Slovenia) as well as a number of new unusual road signs in several countries. The publication follows a similar approach as the 2005 edition. We have tried to select the most unusual road signs among the ones which do not conform to those prescribed by international agreements, namely the Protocol on Road Signs and Signals (Geneva, 1949) and the Convention on Road Signs and Signals (Vienna, 1968). There is certainly a degree of subjectivity in our selections and we apologise for missing any signs that would have deserved to be inserted in this leaflet. But be sure we will take your remarks into consideration for future updates. We would also like to thank all the national automobile clubs for their invaluable help in the making of this publication. Whether you read it out of curiosity or because you intend to travel abroad, we hope you will enjoy using this leaflet. © AIT-FIA Information Centre (OTA) Table of content Things to know Australia Austria Belgium Brazil Canada China Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Hong Kong Iceland Israel Italy Japan Kuwait Latvia Macedonia (FYROM) Malaysia Mexico Netherlands New Zealand Norway Poland Portugal Russia Slovenia South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey United Kingdom USA Tunnel road signs in several countries © AIT-FIA Information Centre (OTA) Things to know According to international agreements: - Danger warning signs are either triangles or diamonds depending on the countries - Restrictive or prohibitory signs are usually circular with red borders. -
EASAC Report on Packaging Plastics in the Circular Economy
Packaging plastics in the circular economy Packaging plastics in the circular ea sac Packaging plastics in the circular economy March 2020 March EASAC policy report 39 March 2020 ISBN: 978-3-8047-4129-4 EASAC This report can be found at www.easac.eu Science Advice for the Benefit of Europe EASAC EASAC – the European Academies' Science Advisory Council – is formed by the national science academies of the EU Member States to enable them to collaborate with each other in giving advice to European policy-makers. It thus provides a means for the collective voice of European science to be heard. EASAC was founded in 2001 at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Its mission reflects the view of academies that science is central to many aspects of modern life and that an appreciation of the scientific dimension is a pre-requisite to wise policy-making. This view already underpins the work of many academies at national level. With the growing importance of the European Union as an arena for policy, academies recognise that the scope of their advisory functions needs to extend beyond the national to cover also the European level. Here it is often the case that a trans-European grouping can be more effective than a body from a single country. The academies of Europe have therefore formed EASAC so that they can speak with a common voice with the goal of building science into policy at EU level. Through EASAC, the academies work together to provide independent, expert, evidence-based advice about the scientific aspects of public policy to those who make or influence policy within the European institutions. -
2C-1 Application of Warning Signs Warning Signs Are Used When It Is
C. WARNING SIGNS 2C-1 Application of Warning Signs Warning signs are used when it is deemed necessary to warn traffic of existing or potentially hazardous conditions on or adjacent to a high- way or street. Warning signs require caution on the part of the vehicle operator and may call for reduction of speed or a maneuver in the interest of his own safety and that of other vehicle operators and pedes- trians. Adequate warnings are of great assistance to the vehicle opera- tor and are valuable in safe-guarding and expediting traffic. The use of warning signs should be kept to a minimum because the unnecessary use of them to warn of conditions which are apparent tends to breed disrespect for all signs. Even on the most modern expressways there may be some conditions to which the driver can be alerted by means of warning signs. These conditions are in varying degrees common to all highways, and existing standards for warning signs are generally applicable to expressways. Typical locations and hazards that may warrant the use of warning signs are: 1. Changes in horizontal alignment 2. Intersections 3. Advance warning of control devices 4. Converging traffic lanes 5. Narrow roadways 6. Changes in highway design 7. Grades 8. Roadway surface conditions 9. Railroad crossings 10. Entrances and crossings 11. Miscellaneous Warning signs specified herein cover most conditions that are likely to be met. Special warning signs for highway construction and mainte- nance operations, school areas, railroad grade crossings and bicycle fa- cilities are dealt with in Parts VI through IX of this Manual. -
