Variable Message Signs (VMS)

VMS products are available in LED, Fiber Optic, Fluorescent, and NIRF (Near Infrared Fiber) technologies. LED signs offer high visibility and low maintenance, fiber optic signs provide bright, uniform illumination, and hybrid Fiber/LED blank out signs combine both technologies for enhanced reliability in demanding highway and municipal environments.

Blank out signs display a single message or symbol that appears only when activated, commonly used for lane closures or restrictions. Lane control signs continuously indicate lane status—open, closed, or restricted—using LED or fiber optic technology to guide traffic flow through changing roadway conditions, construction zones, or reversible lanes.

Yes. Illuminated signs are designed to conform to MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) standards, and traffic signal cabinet components meet NEMA TS1 and TS2 requirements. These standards ensure consistent visibility, durability, and interoperability across state DOT and municipal traffic management systems.

VMS units can be powered through cabinet power, AC with battery backup, or solar power depending on site requirements. Solar-powered options are ideal for remote or temporary installations, while cabinet-powered signs integrate directly with existing signal infrastructure for continuous 24-hour operation.

Yes. Devices like the Bus Interface Unit (BIU) and other signal controllers are designed to work with standard traffic control cabinets, enabling seamless integration of lane control, blank out, and speed notification signs into existing municipal and DOT signal networks without major infrastructure changes.

Pricing for Variable Message Signs is available on request, as configurations vary based on sign technology, size, mounting, and power requirements.
