The signboards are part of the Arterial Variable Message Signs (AVMS) that will display the information based on a live video footage.

The first phase of the project, which costs US$32.26 million, will have more signboards installed by 2012 at other five busy areas. A total of 10 major arterial road sectors will be covered by 2013.
