Road signs ‘lost’ on many drivers

Friday 8th June 2007  

According to a new survey, many British motorists are lost when it comes to understanding common road signs. Some 67% of the 2,500 people polled did not recognise “no through road” signs, and one-third could not identify the sign for “no motor vehicles”. Fewer than 33% knew what a “no cycling” sign looked like and one-third were confused by height restriction signs.

Vauxhall’s poll found drivers would like to see signs such as “cash machine nearby” and “urban foxes crossing”.

Is it any wonder that Britans roads are chaos? We live in a time where, it seems, anything goes. As far as I am concerned, these drivers should be taken off the road to study the highway code and then take the driving tests again. Do these people know what the national speed limit is I wonder? or for that matter a circular sign with a large 30 inside?
