Variable Speed Limit Signs

Vanguard® VS-5220

Enact speed control over your roads easily from traffic management centers. Studies show that variable speed limit signs (VSLS) eliminate the "accordion effect" caused by quick stopping and accelerating of lines of vehicles which leads to traffic congestion.

The VS-5220 produces black digits on a white background to create an MUTCD-compliant speed limit sign.
