Traffic Message Board
What is a traffic message board and where do you find them? A traffic message board is basically the same as an arrow board, but an arrow board is a picture of an arrow directing traffic, and a traffic message board usually contains a longer message such as “road work ahead” or “left lane closed”.
You will most likely find these traffic message boards on the highway. There are chances you will see them in your town, but probably only if your town is very big and there is construction going on.
Arrow Boards
Where do you go to get the best deal on arrow boards? Well, most people do not realize the cost that arrow boards carry with them. Some traffic message boards can cost as much as $20k!
To find the best deal, try going to your local traffic safety or industrial suppliers store. See what the prices are at there, and then go online and find out what the cost to have them shipped would be. Shipping these items is obviously quite expensive, so always take this into consideration when comparing arrowboards
Traffic Message Boards and What They Are?
A lot of people do not know what traffic message boards are. Well, they are those blinking signs on the side of the highway, those large boards that have messages on them, telling you to slow down or that traffic is near. Sometimes they care called arrow boards or advisory arrows.
Traffic message boards can be attached to trailers, mounted on trucks, or just simply sit there on the side of the highway. Something not known about a traffic message board (at least not commonly known) is that it can cost as much as $20k. Some of them have laptops to help with putting up the message.
Arrow boards
Arrow boards are the big boards on the side of the highway that either tell you to switch lanes or have some sort of message. Some arrow boards are hitched on the back of salt trucks or road work trucks. Other arrow boards simply sit on the side of the roadway and don’t move.
Many people do not realize the costs of traffic safety products, arrow boards are a good example. An arrow board with a laptop can go over $20k! If looking into purchasing an arrow board, check the type of paint to make sure it will last.
Arrow Boards? What?
Never heard of arrow boards? An arrow board is a traffic message board or advisory arrow that you would typically see on the highway that informs incoming traffic. It could say “Ice, slow down” or “DUI checkpoint” etc.
There are different forms of arrow boards. Some are bigger than others, some just show arrows, and some even come with laptops! This equipment is not cheap, it can cost as much as $20k. There are many options and many types of arrow boards, so doing your research is always worthwhile.
