Movable Speed Limit Signs

By Jessi McCaffery


Communities that are concerned with pedestrian safety have a choice to help them forestall and minimise fatal accidents: radar signs. Most of us have seen these on highways and in populated areas, informing us what speed we're going, often mounted above or below the posted speed limit sign for reference. They're also usually found in new construction areas, or in places where new roads or stoplights have been installed.

While these speed signs can be permanently installed, movable signs that operate through battery are also available. Even tiny communities can benefit from these movable signs in a variety of ways.

When you have the option of setting a signal up in one place for some time and moving it to another place, you can maximize your investment while making absolutely certain that the signs are in the places they're required most. A solar-powered sign with a battery allows for this movement easily, without the need to ever wire the sign into the grid. These sorts of signs can run on a battery alone, or they can run on solar power. Using a regular sign with a battery that may be occasionally charged is also a choice.

Construction zones often have these varieties of signs mounted on a flatbed truck or some other conveyable platform so that the sign can be moved down the road as the construction progresses and changes place. But that would not be necessary so long as there's somewhere to mount the sign in an area. Not only are you able to put the display where it's required most, you can use it multiple places, reducing the quantity of signs you need to buy to adequately slow traffic.

A sign utilized in a school zone, for instance, could be used someplace else on the weekends when class is out. Many areas have traffic problems and heavier use during the weekends but not within the week, so moving a sign there just for the period of time from Friday nights to Sun. evenings, then using the sign in the school section Monday thru Friday is only one situation that crops up when you use signs that you can move from place to place.
