Blank out and lane control dynamic message signs developed by 7846 SES America (SESA) have been approved by the 7213 Massachusetts Department of Transportation and are now included in the MassDOT Qualified Traffic and Control Equipment List.

SESA’s blank out signs offer customised solutions to meet the needs of a wide variety of projects and are capable of displaying multiple phases of both text and graphics messages, in any colour and any size.

The company’s lane control signs (LCS) provide intelligence via NTCIP reporting when linked with SESA’s SCU6 full color touch screen controller. When used in conjunction with the SCU6 the features of the LCS are expanded to also include control of multiple signs via a single interface, monitoring of component faults/failures and conflict monitoring of each symbol to ensure conflicting lane access symbols are not posted.
