Description
Summary:	alternative designs for the Texas Fann-to-Market (FM) Highway alternative designs was found to be the most effective of the Bryan/College Station community. Four laboratory tests were current FM route marker design. In particular, one of the design to be significantly more legible than the current FM designs consistently performed more effectively than the designs were tested on a sample of 70 motorists from the designs. These tests were the glance legibility test, Devices. Therefore, alternative designs were developed in evaluate the effectiveness of the sign designs from a filtered identification test, reaction time test, and Institute has shown that some portion of the driving legibility standpoint. The results of this testing supported marker. The current FM route marker and six alternative population has difficulty in reading the FM route marker preference test. The intent of using these tests was to previous research that some drivers had difficulty in reading route marker in each of the four tests. route marker. Previous research by the Texas Transportation seven designs tested under laboratory conditions. A specified in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control statistical analysis of the data showed this alternative the current FM route marker. Five of the six alternative this research to improve the legibility of the FM route This thesis documents the development and evaluation of used to assess the effectiveness of the FM route marker
