This report has been developed for those involved in the design and testing of traffic signs and those who are interested in finding out more about how road traffic signs are designed and tested. It includes a general overview of the history of traffic signing; provides detailed explanations of much of the terminology frequently used in the traffic signing field; examines the methods used by previous researchers to develop and test (evaluate) new regulatory and warning traffic signs; and outlines the methods recommended in the relevant Australian Standards for the design and testing of road traffic signs. The report concludes by listing a number of principles for developing effective signs. (a) The ISBN of the microfiche version is 0-86910-665-1.
