“…On the basis of static cognitive experiments, Xu et al [30] introduced dynamic simulation experiments to evaluate the impact of the amount of information of graphic variable information signs on the graphic virtual driving system from the perspective of driver's visual perception characteristics. Ma and Yan [31] studied the application effect of graphical signs at railway and road intersections, and the results show that the improved design scheme has the potential to improve driving safety .…”

：In the path-finding activities, people need to rely on two environmental designs, one is the environment itself -the sight towards the destination, the reference object to help maintain the correct direction, and the intuitive judgment of the exit location. The second is signs, guide signs, markings and other auxiliary tools, which complement and explain the environment itself as a positive factor. The closed characteristics of expressway and the complex and three-dimensional development of road network make the driving environment of the highway itself not distinctive, the visual accessibility is low, the spatial information is difficult to obtain from a macro perspective, and it is easy to get lost, so it is very dependent on guidance facilities such as guide signs, maps, navigation, etc. Give full play to the management and service functions of road traffic signs and markings, so as to prevent and reduce traffic accidents, ensure driving safety, and make road users feel comfortable and happy. Summarize the research on the setting of the guide signs of the expressway hub interchange, and clarify its development context and current research direction.

“…The results showed that the application of deceleration markings on ice and snow curves could give drivers the illusion of high perceived speed, and green comb-shaped deceleration markings with a longitudinal width of 0.1 m had a relatively good deceleration effect. Ma and Yan ( 26 ) studied traffic signs and pavement markings (PSMs) at flashing-light-controlled grade crossings using an eye-tracking system to capture driver eye-movement characteristics as a way to analyze the effectiveness of improved traffic PSMs. These studies have shortcomings such as a simple evaluation model and a single evaluation object.…”

To improve traffic safety in undersea tunnels, the speed control effect of optical illusion deceleration markings (OIDMs) in V-shaped undersea tunnels and their applicability to drivers were explored. In this study, UC-Win/Road software was used to build a simulation scenario, and the V-shaped Jiaozhou Bay undersea tunnel in Qingdao, China, was selected as the simulated road section. Four kinds of OIDMs were selected as the research objects. According to the physiological and psychological response characteristics of drivers to the visual recognition process of OIDMs and vehicle driving parameters, three primary and six secondary evaluation indices were identified. The analytic hierarchy process-entropy weight method was applied to assign weights to each evaluation index in combination, and a comprehensive evaluation model based on the set pair analysis method and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution was constructed to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of the OIDMs based on the ternary coefficient and the comprehensive evaluation index. To verify the accuracy of the model, the data of the three secondary evaluation indicators with larger weight coefficients were statistically analyzed, and the results showed that the results of the statistical analysis of the data were consistent with the results of the model test. In the entrance section of the tunnel, the combination of white inverted fishbone deceleration markings and red warning pavement has the highest comprehensive evaluation index of γ A1 = 0.9611. In the downhill section of the tunnel, the white variable-spacing inverted fishbone deceleration markings have the highest comprehensive evaluation index, γ B1 = 0.9644.

“…The research outcomes and methodologies prepared by JiangbiHu et al (2022) provide valuable insights for enhancing traffic visibility at night, thereby contributing to improved road construction and traffic control strategies in foggy areas[20]. The study by SiweiMa et al (2021) examines the effectiveness of upgraded traffic signs and pavement markings (PSM) at grade crossings, where flashing lights are common. The research uses driving simulation and eye tracking systems to assess the effectiveness of these changes.…”

“…The improvements also led to higher stop compliance rates. However, drivers faced dilemmas when deciding whether to stop or proceed during flashing red lights, especially when FLTT was less than 4 seconds[21].The study by QingCai et al (2022) explores how drivers' visual environment affects speeding crashes using machine-learning techniques. It uses Google Street View images and deep neural networks to extract clustering and depth information.…”

This paper offers a comprehensive review of methodologies to assess the visual condition of traffic signs. It explores image processing, machine learning, and computer vision techniques to evaluate degradation, readability, and overall visibility. The objective is to enhance maintenance and effectiveness of traffic sign systems for safer roads. Regular assessment of traffic signs is vital for their efficacy and safety, considering factors like damage, fading, obstruction, and placement. Addressing these issues can significantly enhance road safety by enabling precise and safe navigation for drivers. The study delves into various aspects including shape, background color, symbol color, temperature, land use, visibility distance, and prevailing visibility conditions of traffic signs.
