Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: traffic signs are perceived less clearly.
As your speed increases, your useful field of vision narrows. This is called tunnel vision. You still see the center of the roadway clearly, but you miss what's off to the sides, where most signs are. That's why you have more trouble noticing them and take in less of what's happening around you.
