Traffic sign symbol comprehension: a cross-cultural study
@article{Shinar2003TrafficSS, title={Traffic sign symbol comprehension: a cross-cultural study}, author={David Shinar and Robert E. Dewar and Heikki Summala and Lidia Żakowska}, journal={Ergonomics}, year={2003}, volume={46}, pages={1549 - 1565} }
The objective of this study was to evaluate the comprehension levels of highway traffic sign symbols used in different countries, to identify underlying rules that affect comprehension levels, and recommend approaches to deal with the problem. The need for such an evaluation was based on today's travel culture where people are often licensed in one country and then drive—without any further training—in another country. We compared the comprehension levels of different traffic sign symbols in…
