Abstract

A study of the speed of 400 drivers indicated that in general increasing the size of a "stop" sign and moving a "turn" sign further from an intersection produced no change in speed of approach. Differences in speed of approach to these signs is discussed relative to sex and place of residence of the drivers. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
