The variable message sign is a useful medium to alert motorway users when there are abrupt changes in traffic patterns, road conditions, emergencies, or special events. The application of VMS on road can improve traffic flow while ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers. Variable message signs are ultra-bright and highly legible, with a variety of functions for many applications: lane closure, highway construction, work zone, parking lot guidance, etc. A combination of different colors and sizes makes these signs extremely efficient in conveying safety messages to road users.

Why does meeting the EN12966 standard matter?

Basically, it means our signs have passed strict tests for:

  • How well drivers can see them:Great brightness and contrast, day or night.
  • How strong they are:Built to handle different weather conditions.
  • How well they fit into traffic systems:They work smoothly with existing setups.

When you choose our VMS solutions, you know you’re getting motorway signs that meet these high EN12966 requirements. We really focused on making the signs perform well, last long, and handle tough environments. That’s why engineers and purchasing managers trust our motorway traffic signs.

What makes Chainzone's VMS stand out?

  • CSpecial Lens Design:This is our own proven technology. It makes the message board signs really bright and clear, so drivers can read them easily in bright sun or pitch dark. Super important for safety!
  • Less Glare at Night:We designed them so they don’t create that annoying glare for drivers at night. Safer and more comfortable viewing for everyone using our LED highway signs.
  • Save Energy:Our design uses light really efficiently, meaning lower electricity bills for you. That’s great for your budget and the environment, especially if you’re using them as temporary traffic construction signs or permanent installs.
  • Built to Last:These signs use materials that resist UV damage and even help clean themselves! Our variable message signs (VMS) can handle nasty weather – heat, cold, rain, dust – so they keep working reliably for a long time with less fuss.

We've got a few types to choose from:

  • L Series:Great for highways and city roads where you need flexibility in size and display for motorway traffic sign
  • M Series:These are fixed signs, really bright and clear, perfect for permanent VMS in traffic management spots.
  • Trailer VMS:Need something mobile? These variable message sign boards are on trailers, perfect for road work (lane closure signs), detours, or managing traffic during events. Easy to move where you need them!

Versatile Applications

Chainzone Variable Message Signs (VMS) are versatile solutions for critical infrastructure:

  • L Series:Great for highways and city roads where you need flexibility in size and display for motorway traffic sign
  • M Series:These are fixed signs, really bright and clear, perfect for permanent VMS in traffic management spots.
  • Trailer VMS:Need something mobile? These variable message sign boards are on trailers, perfect for road work (lane closure signs), detours, or managing traffic during events. Easy to move where you need them!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if road information signs are absent?

Without good road information signs, drivers can get confused, miss important warnings (like a sudden closure!), which can sadly lead to more accidents and traffic jams.

Variable message signs are key players in smart traffic systems. They give drivers real-time motorway traffic sign info so they can make better choices on the road, helping everything flow smoother.
