Many Don’t Know The Meaning Of Some Road Signs

A recent survey reveals that not all drivers can recognize and understand different road signs despite having their licenses for many years.

Myvision.org surveyed more than 1,060 drivers about road signs and other distractions they face when behind the wheel. The survey was conducted in July 2022. Participants were between 18 and 84 years old. The average age was 41 with respondents having had their licenses for 25 years. Forty-nine percent of respondents were male, 49% were female and 2% identified as transgender.

 According to the results, nearly 100% of drivers correctly labeled the merge sign. Furthermore, only about 1 out of 10 had trouble with signs like the right lane ends ahead.

 97% of drivers feel road signs are helpful but the biggest issue is when they aren’t placed well.

Nearly 60% report trouble driving because of bad signage.

25%  think drivers should never be tested after the initial test getting their license. However,

More than half feel drivers should be tested about every five to 10 years. What do you think

I’m pretty sure the person in front of me this morning couldn’t read the speed limit sign. Driving too slowly can be dangerous too.
