<abstract displayLabel="Summary">A large object can delay the perception of a small object, which hints that the use of larger objects in general and larger traffic signs in particular may be counterproductive. The present study employed either one traffic sign or two contiguous traffic signs on a post in a photograph of a road scene. The one-two comparisons of both experiments imply that employing two contiguous signs will not delay the perception of a sign, despite widespread evidence that nearby object will delay the perception of a target object</abstract>
