Should we use Clearview alphabets on all our signs?Ī : The use of Clearview as an alternative to the Standard Alphabets is allowed only on positive-contrast (white legend on a green, blue, or brown background) guide signs, as this contrast orientation is the only one that has demonstrated an improvement in legibility distance to date for those legends composed of upper- and lower-case letters when using specific series of Clearview lettering. Q : I read in a newspaper article that Clearview lettering is significantly better than the old highway lettering we use on our signs.The use of this alternative letter style is subject to Interim Approval and an agency must first request and be granted permission by FHWA to use it. Q : Does FHWA now require Clearview in place of the Standard Alphabets?Ī : There is neither a requirement nor recommendation for any agency to use an alternative letter style.I recently read in a nationally endorsed compendium of treatments for non-motorized vehicles that Clearview should be used on guide signs for bicycle facilities because "it is commonly used for guide signs in the United States." Is this recommendation accurate?.Should I also be considering Clearview for non-freeway guide signs, such as Street Name signs and Destination signs on conventional roads?.I heard on my morning news program that I have to change my Street Name signs to use upper– and lower-case letters (instead of all upper-case) and that this was called Clearview.Does FHWA plan to discard the Standard Alphabets and replace them with the alternative alphabets?.
How else should I monitor the effectiveness of the new signs? We've replaced some of our very old guide signs with new ones using Clearview and have received positive feedback that the new signs look better.My agency has adopted Clearview for all its destination legends on signs and we plan to specify 5-W-R instead of 5-W for all signs.Can I replace my existing signs that use E-modified with any type of the Clearview lettering?.Should I use the same interline spacing that I used with the Standard Alphabets?.

Should I just use what the software produces? I've seen fractions displayed in many different ways and my software does not allow me to display fractions as described in the MUTCD.Does this mean all letters, numerals, and characters of Clearview are significantly more legible?.Since Clearview is so much more legible than the old highway lettering, and it was based on using upper- and lower-case letters, should I now display all lettering on signs using upper– and lower-case letters as I've seen illustrated in some documents?.Does this mean I can still get better legibility by using Clearview even with a letter height smaller than the Standard Alphabets?.If I reduce the letter height, can I still use Clearview as long as it provides the same legibility as the Standard Alphabets?.When designing signs with Clearview, do I use the letter height criteria from the MUTCD in the same way as the Standard Alphabets?.Does this mean I should no longer use Series E-modified on signs?.How was the legibility improvement achieved?.
