Abstract

Although various kinds of signage for bicycles have been adopted in trial projects to improve bicycle friendly street environment in Japan, it is not enough to consider the visibility for cyclists in many cases. The aim of this study is to evaluate bicycle signage type and propose the principle of the arrangement, by analyzing the characteristics of eye fixation to in bicycling. As results, the side mounted or overhead sign is gazed form long distance and is appropriate to set at junctions. The post sign is noticed from a distance, recognized from near and is appropriate to set at start point of street sections. The fixation rate of road surface markings becomes higher in approaching. Road surface marking has good evaluation in visibility and is appropriate to be installed at intervals along the cycling space.
