Electronic message boards (Variable Message Signs)
Large electronic message boards are located on the left of many of the overhead electronic signs on the freeway.
As well as text, these boards will also use internationally recognised icons to help people’s awareness of any changed road conditions ahead.
These generally remain blank until our operators need to notify road users of changed freeway conditions ahead or provide other information relevant to your journey.
When this occurs, messages will be displayed to tell road users what’s happening ahead, how to safely negotiate any incidents, possible alternate routes or any delays they may be facing.
Some of our Variable Message Signs also provide travel time information, letting you know how long it will take to get to key destinations. This information is provided in real time from our road sensor devices.
When these electronic message boards are used, please pay attention, as the advice presented could be important to your journey.
The electronic message boards (Variable Message Signs) display messages that inform road users of the road conditions ahead including upcoming lane closures, speed reductions, potential delays and imminent road detours or closures.
