Literature has identified that the effectiveness of any sign depends upon its attention, meaning, time, respect values and illumination. Some 400 questionnaire forms have been distributed to two faculties at the International Islamic University, Malaysia. The purposive sampling has been used as a method for the survey. The 400 forms included were derived from a list of students of IIUM who registered their car under supplied IIUM Traffic Unit in order to identify the perception towards the provision of the new informatory traffic sign in campus.
