Work zones are some of the most hazardous areas on our roads. With road workers in close proximity to live traffic, heavy machinery in operation, and drivers navigating sudden changes to road layouts, the risk of accidents increases significantly. One of the most effective tools for improving safety in these environments is the Speed Advisory Sign (SAS).
- Real-Time Speed Feedback
Unlike static signs, Speed Advisory Signs display a driver's actual speed in real time. This immediate feedback encourages drivers to slow down if they are exceeding the limit, making them more conscious of their behaviour.
- Reducing Crash Severity
Even small reductions in vehicle speed can dramatically reduce the likelihood and severity of collisions. By keeping vehicles within safe speed limits, Speed Advisory Signs help protect both road workers and motorists.
- Adapting to Changing Work Zone Conditions
Work zones often require temporary speed reductions due to lane closures, equipment on-site, or shifting traffic patterns. Speed Advisory Signs can be deployed quickly and moved as needed, ensuring maximum effectiveness as conditions change.
- Building Driver Compliance
When drivers see their speed displayed, they're more likely to self-correct without enforcement action. This increases compliance with temporary speed limits and reduces reliance on fines or policing.
- Protecting Workers and the Public
By calming traffic, Speed Advisory Signs create a safer environment for everyone — from workers on the ground to drivers passing through. They provide a visible reminder that people's lives are at stake, not just traffic flow.
