Conventional Speed Limit Signs vs. Variable Speed Limit Signs
Since variable speed limit signs have a much higher initial investment cost than traditional speed limit signs, some people may wonder what advantages variable speed limit signs have over traditional speed limit signs, so let’s find out.
Maximum speeds can be set in bulk
Regardless of the number of variable speed limit signs, we can set them in bulk via a remote server. Traditional static speed limit signs, on the other hand, must take a lot of labor and material resources if they need to be replaced in large quantities.
Adjust the speed at any time according to the unexpected situation
Variable speed limit can adjust the maximum speed limit at any time according to the road condition, which plays a great role in regulating the maximum speed of vehicle traveling in temporary and unexpected situations. Traditional speed limit signs cannot be adjusted in a timely manner, so they must be set up at the scene, which takes a lot of time.
Function of Variable Speed Limit Sign
The main function of the variable speed limit sign is to adjust the maximum speed of the vehicle according to the existing road conditions, thus helping the driver to drive safely.
Secondly, the variable speed limit can also limit the maximum speed of the vehicle behind in the event of an accident or slow moving vehicle in front of you, thus avoiding the possibility of a secondary collision.
Limiting the maximum speed of a vehicle ensures safe driving
When a vehicle travels too fast, any abnormal situation (such as skidding, tire blowout, etc.) will greatly threaten the driver’s life safety. Moreover, too fast speed will make the driver’s reaction speed not timely, thus causing serious traffic accidents.
Through the guidance of variable speed limit signs, drivers can be allowed to reduce the driving speed, thus ensuring that drivers can respond in time when they encounter unexpected situations, thus ensuring driving safety.
Suitable for different lanes
Variable speed limits are suitable for single or multiple lanes. Multi-lane speed limit signs also support simultaneous number changes, so we can choose the right number of variable speed limit signs for the specific lane conditions.
Application Scenarios of Variable Speed Limit Sign
Highway is one of the most common application scenarios. Through the real-time speed limit, it can better control the safe driving of vehicles. When encountering unexpected situations, the speed limit can also be modified in time, thus avoiding the occurrence of secondary accidents.
When we pass by school zones, there are often signs reminding us of the speed limit, and many of these signs use variable speed limit signs. It ensures the safety of students by restricting the movement of vehicles on their way to and from school.
Construction zones also require drivers to control their speed, and the use of variable speed limit signs can inform drivers in advance to reduce their speed to ensure the safety of those in the construction zone.
There is a long transition area when we get on or off the highway from an on-ramp. We can install variable speed limit signs in this area to flexibly control the speed of vehicles.
