Arrow boards are typically used to warn oncoming traffic that there is something they should watch out for.  Like mentioned above, it could be a reminder or it could be about construction, but I have even seen it about oncoming unfortunate weather.

There are arrow boards and there are traffic message boards.  Traffic message boards have messages that are displayed on the LED screen, arrow boards are just simply arrows that are on the LED screen.

Arrow boards can either be mounted to the back of trucks or can stand alone on the road.  The only thing ‘true’ arrow boards warn about is to get in the other lane.  They are usually behind a salt truck or snow plow let you know that you should switch lanes.

You will most likely see arrow boards in your city or on the highway, but typically small towns don’t have enough money or enough of a need to have one.  Try and pay attention to these arrow boards when you see them because they are always helping you out.

traffic message boards, traffic message board, traffic control message board, traffic control message boards, arrowboards, arrow boards, arrow board, arrowboard, traffic boards, traffic control boards, Traffic message boards have a variety of messages that are displayed on them.  Just when I was on the road a few days ago, I saw a message that said “5/11 – road work – mon-fri – 3am-7am”.  The amount of messages that can be displayed are never ending, but in my experience they typically have to do with construction.

There have been times when I noticed it mentioned that traffic was ahead, or that the weather is expected to get worse, or the road is icy, etc.  The bottom line is, no matter what the message is, you should always pay attention to the message boards.
