French road sign manufacturer, Elan Cité, introduces their range of speed indicator displays, which were recently chosen by the French government in a bid to reduce speeding on the country’s roads.

The company says their Evolis Compact and Matrice signs are not only the ideal solution for speed reduction programmes, they also provide important traffic management information and statistics, which is quickly downloaded using GPRS or Bluetooth.

Featuring a 33 cm three digits display in a lightweight, durable vandal-resistant ABS resin housing, the signs use red LEDs to warn approaching vehicles that they are speeding, and green LEDs to let drivers know that they are respecting the speed limit. 

The signs have been designed for easy installation and immediate use, and for easy upgrade to solar power.
