<br />r qUlrements: This table determines
<br />which size letters allow good visibility at
<br />varying distances. Keep in mind, block letters
<br />can be read from a greater distance than script
<br />letters. The table gives examples ofbloek
<br />letter readability. Readability may vary 10%
<br />depending on various color eombinations. For
<br />the best results use black or red on a white
<br />background.As a general rule the Greatest
<br />Impaet Readable Distance is 10 feet for every
<br />I inch of letter height.
<br />
<br />Read Time: From years of study, it has
<br />been determined that the reeommended
<br />minimum reading time is 5 seeonds.
<br />
<br />The times in seconds are ealculated assuming
<br />a I" letter to be readable at 50 feet. Each I"
<br />increase results in an additional 50 foot
<br />readability.
<br />
<br />The chart to the right also assumes free
<br />flowing traffie. Traffic lights, stop signs, and
<br />other conditions can, in some cases, justifY
<br />smaller character heights.
<br />
<br />Remember, the figures in the chart represent
<br />the time from whieh letters first become
<br />readable until one passes by the sign. They
<br />are the maximum. The need to monitor traffic
<br />conditions, and standard driving concerns
<br />restrict the amount of time a driver can
<br />dedicate to reading your message. The answer
<br />is to allow the driver more time to read the
<br />message through larger letter sizes.
