Vehicle Activated Speed Signs

Keeping traffic moving at a safe speed through your work site or village can be a challenge, one that a Vehicle Activated speed sign is specifically designed to deal with. These smart signs use radar and other technology to display messages such as “slow down” or “thank you”, as well as a speed reading to encourage drivers to slow down if they are exceeding the speed limit. Reducing vehicle speeds can play a critical role in improving site safety by reducing both the likelihood and severity of accidents.

High-Quality Radar Activated Signs

Radar Activated Sign 30mph Limit With Slow Down Message

Our range of vehicle activated signs can help improve road safety by giving clear visual feedback to drivers. Letting them know that they are driving within or exceeding the speed limit of the road.

All of our signs are capable of showing a range of speeds measured by radar from the approaching vehicle. Some of our models can display both a speed readout and a warning such as “slow down” if the oncoming vehicle is speeding.

These compact systems are perfect for installation in a multitude of locations, from villages to industrial parks, quarries, airports and building sites. Wherever there is traffic, there is a possibility of speeding, and these signs are an excellent way to slow drivers down.

Key Applications of LED Slow Down Signs

As mentioned these road signs can be used in so many different locations, but these are some of the most common applications we have supplied them to.

Villages & Parish Councils - Let passing traffic know that vehicle speeds are being monitored. These signs are perfect for prompting drivers to stick to 20mph and 30mph speed limits.
School Zones - When placed outside of a school some radar activated signs can be programmed with “School Zone” messages to inform drivers there is good reason to drive carefully.
Construction Sites - Some large construction sites may have long roads where speed limits may be exceeded. By using a radar speed sign you can remind drivers that their driving is being monitored.
Weak Bridges - Sometimes it is important that traffic slows down for weak and old structures. Our radar activated traffic signs can be set to alternative the speed limit and a warning of “weak bridge”.
Airports - With vast amounts of foot traffic and wide-open spaces these sites are a recipe for speeding. These signs can be used with the camera attached to monitor the driving of specific vehicles and drivers.
