Variable Speed Limit Signs — Vanguard® VS-5220

Proven to Smooth Traffic

Enact speed control over your roads easily from traffic management centers. Studies prove that variable speed limit signs (VSLS) eliminate the "accordion effect" (the quick stopping and starting of traffic that leads to congestion). The VS-5220 produces black digits on a white background to create an MUTCD-compliant speed limit sign.
