25
It was developed to promote uniformly in traffic control devices.
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
26
It include right-of-way (stop and yield), speed, movement (directional), parking, pedestrian, and other special signs. A specific code is assigned to each type of sign on the street plans for easy recognition.
Regulatory Signs
27
Alerts drivers to any potentially hazardous condition on or adjacent to the roadway provide a signal to reduce speed or drive safely.
Warning Signs
28
These are used to indicate intersections, traffic signals, changes in grade, entrances, and crossings.
Warning Signs
29
Indicate routes and direct travelers to cities, places of interest, parks, forests, and historical sites. Most guide signs vary in size and usually feature white messages on a green background
Guide Signs
30
For general motorist services are white messages on a blue background. These have a white symbol on a brown background.
Recreational and Cultural Signs
31
Usually black text on an orange background. These follow the basic standards of shaped and other details for all highways
Construction and Maintenance Signs
32
Provided on the road pavement (carriageway markings) or on object which are part of the road. These are painted with hot applied thermoplastics paints
Road Markings
33
It is a problem which has to be addressed by the traffic engineer
Parking
34
Needed for guiding roads users to see the carriageway and the immediate surroundings clearly.
Street Lighting
35
Emissions caused by the exhaust of vehicles contain major pollutants like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, lead compounds, smoke, and unburnt petrol.
Air Pollutions
36
It can be controlled by reducing the use of private vehicles, frequent checking of vehicle emissions, and use of battery operated vehicles.
Air Pollution
37
It used to measure noise levels.
Decibels
38
It can be controlled by changes in the design of vehicles, changes in tires or road surfaces and modifications in traffic operations.
Noise
39
It cause by the movement of vehicles on narrow streets flanked by building.
Vibration
40
It is caused by roadside advertisements, unregulated parking and ribbon development along highways.
Visual Intrusion
41
It caused when a road is aligned through a village of habitation, dividing the life of the community, forcing them to cross the road and risking their safety.
Severance
42
Focuses on planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of highways
Highway Engineering
43
Refers to the highways systems of the Philippines
The Philippine Highway Network
44
A network of national roads owned and maintained by the DPWH.
The Philippine Highway Network
45
Roads which form parts of the main trunk line system and directly connect three of more major cities and metropolitan areas with a population of at least 100,000.
National Primary
46
Roads that complement the primary roads and provide access to other major population centers. They directly link smaller cities to the primary roads.
National Secondary
47
Introduced on 2014 and they include other existing roads administered by the DPWH which perform a local function.
National Tertiary
48
The retina perceives objects very sharply within a zone formed by a cone whose angles is 3 degrees about the center of the retina.
Acute Vision or Visual Acuity
49
Deals with the visual zone for the two eyes.
Peripheral Vision
50
An important factor in highway design. It governs the perceiving of information, analysing, starting the decision making process, and the will to react to a situation
