Abstract

The reaction time to the change from flashing to steady light in a traffic signal was studied. The results indicate that the shortest reaction times are obtained when the change is accompanied by a change in a second light. If- for any reason- a second light is impossible or undesirable the shortest reaction times for a single light are obtained if its flash frequency is as high as possible and the light part of each flash cycle is as short as possible.
