Traffic Message Boards – what do they say?

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.

traffic message board, traffic message boards, traffic arrow boards, traffic message sign, traffic message signsWhat 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.

traffic message boards, traffic message board, arrow board, arrow boards, arrowboard, arrowboards, traffic advisory arrowA 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.

I used to think that arrow boards were rather unnecessary. That was until I was coming home last weekend only to find that the exit to my house was closed for construction. Luckily, there were several arrow message boards set up prior to where I was supposed to get off.

Each arrow board had a snippet of information that told drivers where roads were closed and which alternate routes were optimal. This advanced warning allowed me to get off several exits early and take a shortcut that saved me at least twenty minutes. Although I still think that arrow boards are often overused, I now see their pragmatic qualities.
