It recognizes that human error is inevitable and seeks to minimize the consequences of mistakes by designing roads, environments, vehicles, and traffic systems that are more forgiving. Road signs play a critical role in ensuring the safety of both motorists and pedestrians on roadways. International evidence points to the fact that among the various colours used for road signage, “fluorescent yellow green (FY/G)" or "safety yellow," stands out as a colour that commands attention. FY/G signs has emerged as an effective and attention-grabbing colour to highlight hazardous locations and conditions. FY/G is vibrant and highly visible appearance, especially in adverse weather conditions and low-light situations. However, it is currently not part of the South African Road Traffic Signs Manual (SARTSM), which is the guiding regulation for the application of road signs in South Africa. A pilot study was undertaken for South Africa, to measure the perception of FY/G for South African drivers. This extended abstract provides feedback regarding the preliminary findings in support of the use of FYS signage as part of the South African road environment.FulltextenThe Safe System ApproachSSASouth African National Road Safety StrategySANRSSNaturalistic drivingDriver perceptionRoad signageConference Presentationn/a
