One of the most interesting things we
looked at in the previous session was how road signs have progressed of time.
Road signs have always been very simple and need to be simple so they can be
understood whilst a person is driving. If a road sign needs too much attention
this could end up being dangerous with the road user potentially losing
concentration whilst driving. Easily recognisable signs used to be used such as
warning that a train crossing is coming up by using a train symbol. Capital
letters also used to be used for all text included on these signs but was then
changed as it can become hard to read. The text was changed so that a capital
letter is only used at the start and instead of having a pole with various
signs giving directions simple lines are used to direct drivers with the names
of locations easily readable.
