Road Safety - IRC standards for road signages

Author

Any road signage must be created and displayed as recommended by the IRC (Indian Roads Congress) standards. Road signs play a vital role in conveying essential safety information to motorists. No aspect of a sign's design, position or orientation is to be left to the creative interpretation of authorities! As road signs become consistent, motorists become familiar with them. We can then expect compliance to improve and enforcement to thererfore become easier.
