Abstract
This article studies the awareness and comprehension of traffic signs of vulnerable road users, for example passengers and cyclists; and it also studies how personal factors influence the surmise of traffic signs. From the way of conducting a questionnaire investigation, the research collected the personal data of users’ factors, and then tested their degree of comprehension of traffic signs. We found that gender, their own experience with traffic accidents, and their relatives experience with traffic accidents had no effect on their degree of comprehension. Riding experience, family car ownership situation, the attention to traffic signs, and the experience of learning driving license had a significant impact. However, the willingness to get a driver’s license doesn’t impact the comprehension of subjects significantly.
