TRL 3 IMPROVER Subproject 4, Appendix C, Data collection and analysis at a national level TREN-04-ST-S07.37022 Executive Summary This Work Package developed, collected data and analysed four questionnaires concerning different aspects of traffic signing and road markings. The questionnaires focused on the following areas: standard traffic signs, direction signs, road markings and institutional scenarios of traffic signs. The aim of the four questionnaires was to uncover essential points of signing from the 25 EU countries. Data were collected for 19 of the 25 EU countries. Following data collection, the four questionnaires for each country were coded and initially analysed by one of the partners (TRL), then given to the other partners for additional comment. The results are presented in a structured way with tables and diagrams used where possible to show the signs and markings used in the different countries for comparable situations. Overall the results of the Work Package showed that there are many areas where traffic signs and markings vary between different EU countries. These include: the use of road studs, and widths of road marking lines, some aspects of Standard traffic signs (for example, when they were last revised), the colours, positions and designs of directional signs leading to different types of junctions and institutional policies and procedures with respect to traffic signs (for example, the penalties imposed for inappropriate implementation of signs). However, the official representatives from most countries pointed out that the costs and potential safety disbenefits of traffic sign harmonisation might be very high. As such, extreme care should be taken in proposing wholesale harmonisation in many traffic signs, or policies concerning traffic signs. Based on the results presented here, and the review of literature being undertaken in parallel, members of the project team will identify key areas where harmonisation might be desirable, and will then quantify the costs associated with such possible changes. 4 IMPROVER Subproject 4, Appendix C, Data collection and analysis at a national level TREN-04-ST-S07.37022 Contents Executive Summary.................................................................. 4 1.

Method 1.1. Questionnaires Four questionnaires (standard traffic signs, direction signs, road markings and institutional scenarios) were developed by the project partners. These are shown in the Appendix. 1.2. Procedure The partners identified the appropriate official representatives from each of the 25 States. The questionnaires were either given to these representatives to complete, or the partners completed as much of the material as possible from other sources then the draft answers were confirmed by the States. Following data collection, the four questionnaires for each country that gave a response were coded by TRL. Thereafter, data analysis was undertaken by TRL. This analysis was then given to the other partners for extra analyses and comment. Finally, TRL added this additional information from the other partners and produced the report. Figure 1 shows the data collection and analysis process. Data collected from the 25 EU states and given to TRL TRL coded all the data and undertook the initial analysis. Initial analysis given to the other partners for additional comment TRL added obtained information from the other partners Report produced for WP 4.1.2 and 4.1.3.

Results Results are presented for each of the four questionnaires separately. Within each questionnaire, the questions asked and the answers obtained are shown. 2.1. Standard traffic signs For this questionnaire, responses were obtained from 17 of the 25 countries that were contacted. In the case of no response having been received the column in the table has been left blank. 2.1.1. Is the sign shown part of your official traffic sign collection (symbol/character need not be identical, but similar)? Table 1 shows the responses of each country to each of the traffic signs listed in the left-hand column. Listed in each category below are some of the significant results which have been highlighted. o Danger warning signs (category A) – Sign A7c , only 6 of 17 responding countries (35%) listed this sign as part of their official traffic sign collection. Of the countries that responded, only six used this sign, these included Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. The responses for Sign A8 , recorded that only 10 of 17 countries (59%) utilised this sign. Those countries that do not use this sign include; Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland and the Netherlands. o Priority signs (category B) – both signs B3 and B4 recorded utilisation of 15 of 17 countries (88%) and in both cases it was the UK and Ireland that do not use these particular signs. o Prohibitory or restrictive signs (category C) – sign C4b recorded just 6 of 17 countries (35%) utilising this particular sign. Only Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Portugal and Sweden use this sign as part of their traffic sign collection. o Mandatory signs (category D) – sign D10a recorded just 5 of 17 countries (29%) utilising this sign, that is just five of the countries that responded (including Estonia, France, Greece, Hungary & Latvia). o Special regulation signs (category E) - both signs E11a and b recorded low usage with 5 of 17 (29%) and 4 of 17 (24%) countries respectively utilising these signs. o Indication signs (category G) – signs G18 ,G19 and G22a-c recorded low usage with just 5 of 17 (29%) countries using G18 and only 6 of 17 countries (35%) using G19 and G22a-c. 7 IMPROVER Subproject 4, Appendix C, Data collection and analysis at a national level TREN-04-ST-S07.37022 o Additional panels (category H) – of this group of signs, sign H9 recorded the lowest usage with 11 of 17 countries (65%) using this sign. Of the countries that did not use this sign the reason for this could be due to climatic factors for some countries, but there were others that did not use this particular sign despite suffering the relevant climatic conditions. o The total utilisation of signs was reviewed for each country. This identified an interesting finding; the average utilisation for the 17 countries was 82%, yet Ireland recorded a percentage utilisation of just 42%. Therefore the Irish were only utilising half of the signs from the Vienna Convention in their traffic sign collection when compared to the other countries that responded to the questionnaire.

  • 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.

  • Indiana Drivers Manual: Ch. 7
    CHAPTER 7 | Safe Vehicle Operation CHAPTER SEVEN | SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION Even the most experienced drivers can be distracted while driving. A defensive driver looks out for the actions of other drivers and anticipates potential problems. LANE MARKINGS Lane markings separate traffic and alert drivers when it is permissible to pass other vehicles. Yellow Lane Markings Yellow lane markings separate multiple lanes of traffic going in opposite directions. You may cross a broken yellow line to pass another vehicle when it is safe, but you should not cross a solid yellow line except to turn. Two-lane road with a solid yellow line Two-lane road with a broken Four-lane road with a solid yellow line yellow line White Lane Markings White lane markings separate multiple lanes of traffic going in the same direction. Most roads with more than two lanes have broken white lines to separate the lanes. You may cross a broken white line when it is safe to change lanes, but you should not cross a solid white line. Three lanes of traffic with broken white lines CHANGING LANES AND PASSING OTHER VEHICLES Change only one lane at a time. When changing lanes to prepare for a turn, you must signal your intention to do so at least 200 feet prior to changing lanes or turning. Your signal distance must be at least 300 feet before the turn if you are operating a vehicle in a speed zone of at least 50 miles per hour. Do not weave in and out of lanes, which will greatly increase your risk of an accident.

  • 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.

  • 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.
