Advance directional signs appear at a certain distance from the interchange, giving information for each direction. A number of countries do not give information for the road ahead (so-called "pull-through" signs), and only for the directions left and right. Advance directional signs enable drivers to take precautions for the exit (e.g., switch lanes, double check whether this is the correct exit, slow down). They often do not appear on lesser roads, but are normally posted on expressways and motorways, as drivers would be missing exits without them. While each nation has its own system, the first approach sign for a motorway exit is mostly placed at least 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) from the actual interchange. After that sign, one or two additional advance directional signs typically follow before the actual interchange itself. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Traffic_sign&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:20140822_kuninkaantien-mailimerkki_ore-e-ref_c_q_xxx_e-1-a_hevoslinja_pho.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/20140822_kuninkaantien-mailimerkki_ore-e-ref_c_q_xxx_e-1-a_hevoslinja_pho.jpg/220px-20140822_kuninkaantien-mailimerkki_ore-e-ref_c_q_xxx_e-1-a_hevoslinja_pho.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/20140822_kuninkaantien-mailimerkki_ore-e-ref_c_q_xxx_e-1-a_hevoslinja_pho.jpg/330px-20140822_kuninkaantien-mailimerkki_ore-e-ref_c_q_xxx_e-1-a_hevoslinja_pho.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/20140822_kuninkaantien-mailimerkki_ore-e-ref_c_q_xxx_e-1-a_hevoslinja_pho.jpg/440px-20140822_kuninkaantien-mailimerkki_ore-e-ref_c_q_xxx_e-1-a_hevoslinja_pho.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4608" data-file-height="3456" /></a><figcaption>An old road sign of the <a href="/wiki/King%27s_Road_(Finland)" title="King's Road (Finland)">King's Road</a> between <a href="/wiki/Perni%C3%B6" title="Perniö">Perniö</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eken%C3%A4s,_Finland" title="Ekenäs, Finland">Ekenäs</a> in <a href="/wiki/Finland" title="Finland">Finland</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The earliest road signs were <a href="/wiki/Milestone" title="Milestone">milestones</a>, giving distance or direction; for example, the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Empire" title="Roman Empire">Romans</a> erected stone columns throughout their empire giving the distance to Rome.

This act foresaw the placement of <a href="/wiki/Priority_sign" class="mw-redirect" title="Priority sign">priority signs</a> in the narrowest streets of <a href="/wiki/Lisbon" title="Lisbon">Lisbon</a>, stating which traffic should back up to give way. One of these signs still exists at Salvador street, in <a href="/wiki/Alfama" title="Alfama">the neighborhood of Alfama</a>. </p><p>The first modern road signs erected on a wide scale were designed for riders of high or "ordinary" bicycles in the late 1870s and early 1880s. These machines were fast, silent and their nature made them difficult to control, moreover their riders travelled considerable distances and often preferred to tour on unfamiliar roads. For such riders, <a href="/wiki/Cycling_organization" class="mw-redirect" title="Cycling organization">cycling organizations</a> began to erect signs that warned of potential hazards ahead (particularly steep hills), rather than merely giving distance or directions to places, thereby contributing the sign type that defines "modern" traffic signs. </p><p>The development of automobiles encouraged more complex <a href="/wiki/Signage_systems" title="Signage systems">signage systems</a> using more than just text-based notices. One of the first modern-day road sign systems was devised by the Italian Touring Club in 1895. By 1900, a Congress of the International League of Touring Organizations in Paris was considering proposals for standardization of road signage. In 1903 the British government introduced four "national" signs based on shape, but the basic patterns of most traffic signs were set at the 1908 <a href="/w/index.php?title=World_Road_Congress&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="World Road Congress (page does not exist)">World Road Congress</a> in <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (May 2015)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> In 1909, nine European governments agreed on the use of four pictorial symbols, indicating "bump", "curve", "intersection", and "grade-level railroad crossing". The intensive work on international road signs that took place between 1926 and 1949 eventually led to the development of the European road sign system. Both Britain and the United States developed their own road signage systems, both of which were adopted or modified by many other nations in their respective spheres of influence. The UK adopted a version of the European road signs in 1964 and, over past decades, North American signage began using some symbols and graphics mixed in with English. </p><p>In the U.S., the first road signs were erected by the American Automobile Association (AAA). Starting in 1906, regional AAA clubs began paying for and installing wooden signs to help motorists find their way. In 1914, AAA started a cohesive transcontinental signage project, installing more than 4,000 signs in one stretch between Los Angeles and Kansas City alone.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Over the years, change was gradual. Pre-industrial signs were stone or wood, but with the development of Darby's method of smelting iron using coke-painted cast iron became favoured in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Cast iron continued to be used until the mid-20th century, but it was gradually displaced by aluminium or other materials and processes, such as vitreous enamelled and/or pressed malleable iron, or (later) steel. Since 1945 most signs have been made from sheet aluminium with adhesive plastic coatings; these are normally <a href="/wiki/Retroreflector" title="Retroreflector">retroreflective</a> for nighttime and low-light visibility. Before the development of reflective plastics, reflectivity was provided by glass reflectors set into the lettering and symbols. </p><p>New generations of traffic signs based on electronic displays can also change their text (or, in some countries, symbols) to provide for "intelligent control" linked to automated traffic sensors or remote manual input. In over 20 countries, real-time <a href="/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Traffic Message Channel">Traffic Message Channel</a> incident warnings are conveyed directly to vehicle navigation systems using inaudible signals carried via FM radio, 3G cellular data and satellite broadcasts. Finally, cars can pay tolls and trucks pass safety screening checks using video numberplate scanning, or RFID transponders in windshields linked to antennae over the road, in support of on-board signalling, toll collection, and travel time monitoring. </p><p>Yet another "medium" for transferring information ordinarily associated with visible signs is <a href="/wiki/RIAS_(Remote_Infrared_Audible_Signage)" class="mw-redirect" title="RIAS (Remote Infrared Audible Signage)">RIAS (Remote Infrared Audible Signage)</a>, e.g., "talking signs" for print-handicapped (including blind/low-vision/illiterate) people. These are infra-red transmitters serving the same purpose as the usual graphic signs when received by an appropriate device such as a hand-held receiver or one built into a cell phone. </p><p>Then, finally, in 1914, the world's first electric traffic signal is put into place on the corner of Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street in <a href="/wiki/Cleveland" title="Cleveland">Cleveland</a>, Ohio, on August 5.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
