A man driving 35 miles an hour with four wheel brakes in good con- dition can stop in 135 feet if he 18} warned by a properly designed smn.; This is computed for night driving, | a full second for the driv- ction to the sign before he the brakes. 1f the car s equipped with good | two wheel brakes, he can stop in | 200 feet when traveling 35 miles an hour. This provides engineers definite information upon the dis- | tance from a railroad crossing or| other hazard that a sign should be ! placed. Results of the research were em- | Dlayed by the American engineering | council in its adoption of a standard | code for highway signals and signs. | The distances from intersections and | ards has been computed upon the sis of the motorist’s reaction time and his ability 1o stop at touring speeds with adequate bra L The bureau of standards obtained its data by studying the reaction of scores of drivers picked at random. | Two revolvers beneath the running board of the test car were so ar-| ranged that the experimenter could | fire one, which would be a signal for the driver to fire the other and siop the car.
