Can traffic signs and signals influence fuel consumption by affecting speed, stops and manoeuvres?

Correct answer

Yes, it can indirectly affect driving behaviour and consumption.

Yes, indirectly, because traffic conditions and speed, acceleration and braking choices affect consumption. It is incorrect to exclude all signs and signals as a factor. Anticipating a stop can avoid unnecessary acceleration while obeying signals and prioritising safety. Vehicle, load, maintenance, road and environmental conditions also matter.
