Book 2 • Sign Design, Fabrication and Patterns k o o B 2 Ontario Traffic Manual March 2005 Sign Design, Fabrication & Patterns Book 2 • Sign Design, Fabrication and Patterns The Ontario Traffic Manual is directed to its primary users, traffic practitioners. Book 2 is an exception, Ontario being directed at sign designers and fabricators. The OTM incorporates current best practices in the Province of Ontario. The interpretations, Traffic Manual recommendations and guidelines in the Ontario Traffic Manual are intended to provide an understanding of traffic operations and they cover a broad range of traffic situations encountered in practice. They are based on many factors which may determine the specific design and operational effectiveness of traffic control systems. However, no manual can cover all contingencies or all cases encountered in the field. Therefore, field experience Foreword and knowledge of application are essential in deciding what to do in the absence of specific The purpose of the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM) direction from the Manual itself and in overriding is to provide information and guidance for any recommendations in this Manual. transportation practitioners and to promote uniformity of treatment in the design, application The traffic practitioner’s fundamental responsibility and operation of traffic control devices and systems is to exercise engineering judgement and across Ontario.

    Jurnal Arsitektur ALUR – Vol 3 No 1 Mei 2020 e-ISSN 2685-1490; p-ISSN 2615-1472 UNDERSTANDING DESIGN APPROACH FOR BILINGUAL ROADWAY DIRECTIONAL SIGN Reynaldo Siahaan1, Jamiel Louiee Jayme 2 1Study Program of Civil Engineering, Catholic University of Saint Thomas, Indonesia, email: [email protected] 2Civil Engineering, De La Salle University, Philippines, email: [email protected] Abstract The use of bilingual roadway directional sign is getting more important worldwide. It is triggered by the increasing concerns about the importance of providing the same information for foreigners as locals. However, while some countries have set their regulations and standards, there is still no general standard produced in the market about the adequate design for the bilingual roadway directional signs. This study explores available standards and discusses some issues concerned by comparing various bilingual directional signs practices in different countries and analyzing them based on related theories and past studies. Several similarities and consistencies were found in many countries, and thus particular guidance in the design approach for bilingual road directional sign is concluded. The design approach should pay attention to text volume, order, physical distinction, and also familiarity. Keywords: bilingual directional signs, urban road sign, friendly city 1. Introduction Roadway signs are one of the most important components on the urban roadway because it provides information and guidance for drivers. Roadway signs are not only used for traffic control, but also for directional guide purpose. Traffic control devices, such as roadway traffic signs, prevent traffic accidents, and improve road safety. Whereas, directional roadway signs are intended to prevent confusion and ambiguity when drivers or road users are trying to find their way and destination.

  • Maintaining Traffic Sign Retroreflectivity: Impacts on State and Local Agencies
    Maintaining Traffic Sign Retroreflectivity: Impacts on State and Local Agencies PUBLICATION NO. FHWA-HRT-07-042 APRIL 2007 U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Research, Development, and Technology Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center 6300 Georgetown Pike McLean, VA 22101-2296 FOREWORD In 1992, the Congress directed the Secretary of Transportation to revise the Manual on Unifrom Traffic Control Decives to include a standard for minimum levels of retroreflectivity that must be maintained for traffic signs. The FHWA already had an active research program investigating the nighttime visibility of traffic signs, and responded to the congressional mandate by publishing a set of recommendations for minimum maintained sign retroreflectivity levels in October 1993. An analysis of the impacts of the proposed minimum maintained traffic sign retroreflectivity levels was published in April 1998. The following document updates the 1998 report on the national impact of minimum maintained traffic sign retroreflectivity levels, and addresses concerns expressed in four FHWA-sponsored workshops that were held in 2002. The primary sources of information for this effort are previous studies related to the benefits of improved signage and the impacts of implementing sign system upgrades. This report will be of interest to State and local agencies with responsibility for traffic signs and people involved in traffic sign maintenance. Michael F. Trentacoste Director, Office of Safety Research and Development Notice This document is disseminated under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Transportation in the interest of information exchange. The U.S. Government assumes no liability for the use of the information contained in this document.

This literature review was used to determine the significant findings from past studies, and to determine areas where future research is needed. This report covers a number of areas related to freeway guide signing. Differences between the current Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and national MUTCD are summarized. Research on driver information processing is examined, and past studies that identified deficiencies in guide signs in the field are reviewed. Research related to the selection of guide sign messages is reviewed, and guidelines for the design and layout of guide signs are summarized.
