Impact of Shapes and Patterns on Recognition and Response Efficiency in Safety Signage Design

In this article, we studied how the design of safety signs affects how quickly and accurately people understand them. Signs with bar patterns were found to be the easiest and quickest to recognize, while square and irregular patterns took longer and caused more mistakes. The study shows that simple designs, like bars, help reduce confusion and improve safety in emergencies, roads or workplaces. These findings can guide designers to create clearer and more effective safety signs that work well in busy or stressful environments.
