Information Provided by Freeway Signing
Due to the high-speed and high-volume nature of freeways,
freeway signing should strive to provide information in a manner
that contributes to quick processing and conveys clear meaning.
Key factors to consider include:
- Freeway signing should provide information to meet the needs of the unfamiliar road users.
- Freeway signing provides advance information about approaching decision points in a manner that allows adequate time for response at freeway speeds.
- Freeway signing does not have to identify every possible choice for the driver.
- Freeway signing may direct the road user along a longer distance route to simplify the guidance information associated with reaching the indicated destination.
