ABSTRACT: Standardization of traffic controller device or guidance which used in Indonesia still referring to Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD, 1971) from US Transportation Department and some other code, that is Transportation and Road Research Laboratory ( TRRL, 1977) in England and Indiana Road Congress ( 1968) from India.The manual and code are in English and need to translated in Indonesian language. The words will become longer sentence. For example: TURN = MEMUTAR, PASSING=MENDAHULUI, and others. The transformation shows that read time required will be longer. The letter dimension refinement which matching with linguistics basis in Indonesia is needed.
This research done to repeat the research before all that done by Sugiantoro and Mochtar ( 1989) , Albayumi and Mochtar ( 1993) and Mochtar and Nawawi ( 1996) with body type applied is Upper case ( Capital letter) and Lower case. With letter dimension height/width ( H/B)=4/3 and 3/2 and letter Thick ( t)=1/6H The invention is got by result that speed of read is 2 syllable persecond, for letter dimension with read distance is explain by with comparison height/width ( H/B)= 4/3 and 3/2 with letter Thick ( t). The research is done because at former research, number of responders is assumed still less so that can’t be made base for planning of letter dimension.
