The results showed that the number of road accidents in night-time conditions decreased by 6% after renewing the road markings, i.e., increasing their retroreflectivity. A New Zealand study from 2006 analysed the impact of road markings retroreflectivity on the occurrence of road accidents and thus on traffic safety.
Apr 21, 2022 · In the past decade, at least 28 U.S. states have started to display traffic fatality numbers to scare motorists into safer driving. But a new analysis of Texas car crashes co-authored by Madsen suggests such signs may actually be associated with more crashes, not fewer. “It’s counterintuitive, but the analysis is solid,” says Gerald ...
- Stop Sign. The stop sign, easily recognized by its octagonal shape and bold red color, is one of the most universal road signs. When drivers approach this sign, they must stop, regardless of the traffic flow.
- Yield / Give Way. The yield or give way sign, characterized by its inverted triangle shape with a red border, warns drivers. Rather than demanding a complete stop, it instructs drivers to slow down and prepare to give way to other vehicles or pedestrians.
- Speed Limit. Typically round or rectangular, speed limit signs prominently display a numerical value. This number indicates the maximum permitted speed for that specific stretch of road, ensuring safety and proper traffic flow.
- No Entry. This sign, a bold red circle with a white horizontal line across its center, is a straightforward command. It signals to drivers that they are not allowed to proceed or enter a particular road or area.

SDG Target 3.6 for road safety aimed to halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents by 2020 (United Nations, 2017). However, considering the example of the WHO European region, despite a decrease of 8.1% in road traffic deaths between 2010 and 2013, the region may not be able to fulfil this SDG 2020 target to halve the road traffic deaths and injuries (Jackisch ...
Apr 24, 2022 · Attention-grabbing signs that remind drivers of highway mortality can backfire in unexpected ways, according to a new study. When cars in Texas zoom past crash statistics – like '1669 deaths this year on Texas roads' – researchers found drivers are 4.5 percent more likely to get in a crash in the next 10 kilometers (6.21 miles).

Nov 1, 2018 · Currently a number of studies concentrate on the traffic sign detection, e.g. the color, the size, and lettering of road signs (Villalón-Sepúlveda et al., 2017; Vilchez, 2017), and although there are some studies (Carson and Mannering, 2001; Porter et al., 2007; Wu and Wang, 2013) attempting to establish the relationship between accidents and traffic signs, merely one type of specific ...
