New technology creates signs for safer roads for schoolchildren

Messagemaker has developed a new electronic speed reduction safety sign, which uses the latest LED technology and is fully programmable to initiate a temporary 20mph speed limit during school arrival and departure times, using 3G data modems to remotely set sign parameters and for retrieval of collected speed data. The signs can also be configured to revert to vehicle activated speed signs outside of the core school times.

The signs can also be configured to revert to vehicle activated speed signs outside of the core school times.

The optics for the signs are fully compliant with EN 12966 and have a narrower, brighter beam to reduce light pollution in adjacent buildings and houses.
