Variable Speed Limit Sign (VSLS)

Variable Speed Limit Sign (VSLS)

Product Overview

McCain’s Variable Speed Limit Sign (VSLS) provides the ability to display various speed limits at different times to en-route motorists through a comprehensive set of user configurations. Strategically placed, these signs improve overall traffic flow and safety within your jurisdiction. Commonly used VSLS applications include lower speed limits in school zones and construction zones. Another important use is along highways and streets where it has been determined that adjusting speed limits to specific times of the day yields smoother fl owing traffic patterns.
