Over the jumble of signs by the various speed limits on our highways is already being complained about. This dynamic road sign offers in theory a solution to this problem.

The board, developed by the Frisian Rotapanel, works as an alarm clock or a stationsbord 25 years ago worked: with the blade inside the board to rotate, and thus a different text, or in this case: a different number, forth can conjure.

The unit is wireless to use and equipped with a solar cell. Road authorities can in this way en masse the displayed speed limit on a complete wegvak change. Today is the road sign on the international verkeersbeurs the Intertraffic in amsterdam (nice date, so during the NSS) will be presented, but the Telegraph got some of the information conveyed.

It sounds beautiful in all its simplicity, although there are also some hiccups on the lurk: mistakes by ‘suspended’ signs for example. In addition, it is quite an investment, while the entire country the last few years correct complete, is rich with ‘stupid’ signs, and makes all to the storage or the recycelaar can.

Additionally: so why not going digital, with guidance? The possibilities of this are a lot larger, and the technique comes not from somewhere in the middle of the century. An important argument against this will cost, but if you look at what the driver is earned, then there should be quite a bit of money clawed back.
