What is traffic sign recognition?

Ebony Barker • October 1, 2024

Traffic sign recognition systems use camera technology to scan the road ahead for traffic signs.


This then connects to image processing and recognition software which makes a note of any changes and potential obstructions, before relaying a signal to the vehicle’s interior control panel or dashboard.


Whilst not a necessity, this is extremely useful when travelling in an unfamiliar area, or where you are unaware of the speed limit. Like other ADAS components, traffic sign recognition is not a replacement for human due diligence and attention.
