This project was conducted to evaluate key aspects of freeway signing in Texas and develop guidelines for improving the quality and consistency of freeway signing. The major efforts of this research included an evaluation of existing freeway signing in Texas by photographing signing in several urban areas, evaluating driver information needs by conducting focus groups with freeway drivers in selected Texas cities, and developing a "Freeway Signing Handbook." The handbook is the implementation product for the research effort.
