Accession Number: 01472454
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: Pavement marking symbols (such as text markings, symbol markings and arrow markings) are an important part of the traffic guide sign system. In large passenger transport hubs, pavement marking symbols can play an important role in guiding the flows of passengers. This research used field pavement text markings to analyze the relationship of the font height of text markings and the legibility distances. This research employed analysis of variance and difference of means test to identify the factors that affect the legibility distances. A regression model was developed to describe the relationship between the font height of text markings and the legibility distances. Based on this model, a variety of text marking design recommendations can be drawn, to improve the legibility and effectiveness of text pavement markings.
