VISTA, California, March 27, 2018 – McCain Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SWARCO Group and a leader in the supply of advanced intelligent transportation solutions for safety and mobility, today introduced variable speed limit signs (VSLS), powered by SWARCO’s world-renowned LED technology. The VSLS is the latest in McCain’s line of full-color dynamic message signs to feature the SWARCO technology that makes viewing and maintaining signs better than ever.
McCain variable speed limit signs help improve road safety by allowing agencies to adjust the speed limit on roadways in response to current road and traffic conditions, such as heavy traffic or adverse weather conditions. By decreasing the risk associated with driving at speeds higher than appropriate in these types of conditions, VSLS can improve traffic flow and safety, and reduce crash potential by eight to thirty percent.
“As a manufacturing powerhouse for the last 30 years, creating high-quality products for ITS [Intelligent Transportation Systems] is what we do best. But what truly differentiates the variable speed limit sign is the use of SWARCO’s precision-optics technology,” said Matt Eichenfield, sign product manager for McCain. “The technology enables us to deliver unparalleled sign clarity, visibility, and contrast ratios, while reducing energy consumption by nearly 50% when compared to other leading brands. This truly represents the future of sign technology.”
Each variable speed limit sign measures six-feet tall and features 18- or 22-inch characters easily legible by the motoring public. Built to industry standards, such as NEMA TS 4, and featuring high-quality aluminum construction, the signs are ideal for permanent or temporary installation in almost any environment.
