Participant Intake Form - Pennsylvania (March 2025-April 2025)

Thank you for your interest in our sign study titled Comprehension and Legibility of Selected Signs Phase V

Below is a quick summary of the study:

• We will be in Philadelphia, PA through March 2025 in center city near 13th and chestnut.
• Overall, the study will take about 60 minutes, and pays $50.
• We are conducting this study for the Federal Highway Administration.
• Research participants must be 18 years old and have a valid US driver’s license.
• When you arrive we will have you review and sign an Informed Consent document (indicating you agree to participate).
• If you wear glasses/contacts while driving, you will also be asked to wear them for the study. Before beginning the study, we will conduct a brief eye chart to check that you have at least 20/40 vision in one eye.
• Then, you will be seated in front of a TV screen and will be shown different images of sign that may be used on roadways throughout the country. You will be asked questions about the signs that you view. Instructions will be provided before you begin.
• We often conduct these studies to get a better idea of what signs are understood by drivers, and what signs are most effective – it is NOT an evaluation of how much you know or don’t know, but rather to help us determine which signs should be used on roadways.
