The highway code was written with who in mind? Cyclists Car Drivers LGV Drivers All Road Users, or Pedestrians. Discuss…
History Road signs can be traced back as far as the early 1880’s, where they were found to be erected by bicycle clubs to warn cyclists of hazards. However, these signs were often made with cast iron and just warned of hazards, and not mentioning any direction However, it was the cycling lobby that successfully pressured the government in to vesting ownership and taking full responsibility for the roads in 1888.
History As part of an effort to eliminate sign clutter in the mid 1980s, a colour coding system was developed to indicate information pertaining to different categories of route on a single sign. The system became known as Guildford Rules, after the town of Guildford, where experimental versions of this signing system were tested The design of the road signs in the United Kingdom are governed by an extremely complex and detailed set of guidelines.
History Anderson Committee: In 1957, a government committee was formed to design signs for the new motorway network. A system was needed that could be easily read at high speed Worboys Committee: The UK government formed another committee in 1963 to review signage on all British roads. The result was a document that defined traffic signing in Britain.
Shape Almost all signs have rounded corners. This is partly for aesthetic reasons. It is also safer for anyone coming into contact with a sign, and it makes the sign more durable, as rain is less likely to corrode the corners.
Colour Three colour combinations are used on Worboys direction signs depending upon the category of the route. All roads are categorised as either: Motorways (white on blue) Primary routes (white on dark green with yellow route numbers) Non-primary routes (black on white)
Colour On Advance Direction Signs, as introduced under the Guildford Rules, the background colour indicates the category of route on which it is located On all directional signs, destination names are placed on the colour appropriate to the category of route used from that junction A panel of one colour on a different colour of background therefore indicates a change of route status A smaller area of colour, called a patch, surrounds a bracketed route number (but not its associated destination) to indicate a higher status route that is joined some distance away A patch may only be coloured blue or green.
Typeface Two typefaces are specified for British road signs: Transport and Motorway Transport is a mixed-case font and is used for all text on fixed permanent signs except route numbers on motorway signs. It is used in two weights: Transport Medium (for light text on dark backgrounds) and Transport Heavy (for dark text on light backgrounds).
Categorisation - Directional An Advance Direction Sign may be one of four types: Stack type - with the destinations in each direction on a separate panel that also contains an arrow; Map type — to give a highly clear and simplified diagrammatic plan view of a junction, for example a roundabout Dedicated lane - shows the destinations separated by vertical dotted lines to indicate which lane to use; Mounted overhead -for use on busy motorways and other wide roads where verge mounted signs would be frequently obstructed by other traffic.
Categorisation - Warning The importance of a warning sign is emphasised by the red border drawn around it and the triangular shape
Categorisation - Regulatory Signs in circular red borders are prohibitive, whether or not they also have a diagonal red line. Such circular signs may be accompanied by, or place on, a rectangular plate (information) that provides details of the prohibition or instruction; for example, waiting and loading plates and zone entry signs. This type of sign gives an order
Categorisation – Positive Instruction Circular blue signs mainly give a positive (mandatory) instruction 'Stop' signs (octagonal) and 'give way' signs (inverted triangle) are the two notable exceptions, the distinctive shapes being recognisable even if the face is obscured by dirt or snow.
Categorisation - Information Informational signs are mainly rectangular or square, but strictly speaking, this category also covers directional signs. They are often coloured to match the directional signing for the status of road in question, but where this is not necessary, they are generally blue with white text
Categorisation - Diversion Diversion routes are marked with black symbols on a yellow patch (square, triangle, circle, or diamond) These mark diversionary routes in the event that the road ahead is closed for any reasons Motorists can navigate following the symbol, and can find their way back to the original road at a junction above the closure.
