The mobile variable message sign adds a further dimension to the advanced traffic management system by allowing for traffic management centre personnel to place messages where and when they are needed. This is specifically useful for situations that are not an everyday occurrence such as special events, holiday periods and temporary closures.
The display is designed for easy deployment and towing on a custom built trailer, when towing the sign lies horizontally to reduce height and drag. The sign is easily erected by turning the fitted crank handle and dropping the stabilising jacks. Consideration has been given to security by fitting padlocks to all crank handles and critical moving parts. The batteries are stored in a galvanised lockable steel box at the base of the sign.
