In the paper the efficiency of the information transfer in the road traffic by the variable message signs was evaluated. The article consists of two parts. The first part discusses the purpose and types of signs, taking into account the technology of their manufacture. The main focus of this paper is on characters with discontinuous drawing. In the second part, based on the literature review and the author's questionnaire, the requirements and expectations of drivers in terms of the form and manner of the information transfer were characterized. The article has been supplemented with an appendix, which describes the principles of introducing variable message signs on the market as a construction product.

W artykule poddano ocenie efektywność przekazu informacji w ruchu drogowym przez znaki o zmiennej treści. Praca składa się z dwóch części. W części pierwszej omówiono przeznaczenie i rodzaje znaków, uwzględniając technologię ich wykonania. W artykule skupiono się przede wszystkim na znakach o rysunku nieciągłym. W części drugiej, na podstawie przeglądu literaturowego oraz autorskiej ankiety, scharakteryzowano wymagania oraz oczekiwania kierujących w zakresie formy oraz sposobu przekazywania informacji. Artykuł uzupełniono załącznikiem, w którym opisano zasady wprowadzenia na rynek znaków o zmiennej treści jako wyrobu budowlanego.
Road safety has an extremely important role in existing transportation systems. Drivers on the road are influenced by various factors (light and temperature conditions, visual smog, environment surrounding, etc.) and driver´s distraction represents the most common cause of road traffic accidents. According our previous researches, we found that visual smog has a negative influence on drivers on the road. However, the task of placing the traffic signs on the roads is to increase road safety, thus positively influencing the driver while driving. The main objective of this article is to measure the visibility of traffic signs on selected roads in specific light conditions (in night). Secondary objective is to measure visibility of roadside advertisement (billboards) near roads that are influencing driver´s distractions in negative way. The mobile ETG technology (eye tracking glasses) has been used as a method for measuring the gaze of the driver’s eyes on traffic signs in night conditions. We compared the results from our previous research (daylight conditions) with the obtained results from the current research. On the basis of the comparison of both measurements we can find out differences (positive and negative) in influence of traffic signs and road side advertisements on drivers in various light conditions.
