  2. The problem is that with age comes weak and unclear eyesight which can lead to you not being able to read important signage on freeways as well as surface streets. Also signs are not always visible for those who have problem free eyesight. Some signs are not manufacturer correctly and are not durable as they should be in different weather elements or reflective doing hours where headlights maybe needed to aid in lighting the road as well as signage with important information for all drivers . Problem?

  3. Visibility • Reflective Boarder • Reflective Outline • Letters • Arrows • Symbols • Durability • Letters fall off • Reflective dots fall off

  8. Why is 3-dimensional better • Three dimensional is better and more efficient because it reflex’s the image more and the visibility increases a lot. • For elderly people it is going to improve there visibility by 40% . • Drivers speeding fast will quickly re act to the glare of the 3-D words • Drivers reacting fast to the glare will decrease totals by at least 45% is the driver is watching the road
