Even though a lot of attention is paid to the design of road signs, a legible and understandable sign does not necessarily mean drivers also perceive the sign if it is mounted along the side of the road. Quite some research has tried to understand this principle, and by using different research methods, some insight in the process of perceiving signs has been provided. Different research methods are described are eye movement studies, studies using verbal reports while driving, studies recording driving behavior and studies asking drivers to recall or recognize a sign after having passed it.
