Abstract

A preliminary analysis of a survey of drivers'understanding of traffic control devices (TCDS) and associated road rules is reported. Understanding of the symbolic component of regulatory signs was better than previous work suggested, although the understanding of the shape- colour code for different types of signs was poorly understood. The meanings of combinations of signal arrows and through signals were well understood.
