Abstract
Eye movements of young drivers travelling along a two-lane dual carriageway city road were analysed, with particular attention paid to their response to lane-dividing horizontal traffic signalisation, 125-175 m ahead of eight intersections. The visual region was divided into segments containing horizontal road markings or kerbs, central section directly ahead of the driver, and the remainder of the field. Overlay with heat maps, showing stare intensity, clearly demonstrated their importance as guiding paths for drivers, even though only 10% of test participants were recorded to focus on them. On average, 31 gazes on horizontal markings were recorded, as compared to 83 gazes on the centre area and 72 for all other areas, which demonstrates very important indicative role of horizontal road markings. If a fixation occurred, it lasted on average 0.18 s, which was relatively high in comparison with fixations measured at other visual regions (0.24–0.30 s). The results confirm that proper information regarding travel path was provided by horizontal signalisation.
