INTRODUCTION
As road usage continues to increase it is acknowledged that speeding motorists are a danger on the roads and to communities. Prompting drivers when exceeding the speed limit, or highlighting the legal limit of a given area are both proven methods of speed reduction.
To maintain their energy-efficient quality, all Messagemaker Displays VAS units are fitted with light readers to auto-dim the LEDs during nighttime use. Adding to this, the SMD LED technology ensures minimum light pollution and targets the light so that only oncoming motorists can view. All of the below sign types are energy efficient, weatherproof, durable, and effective solutions in speed reduction. For all questions and inquiries please contact your account manager or call us at 01737 774747.
