TraffiCalm's variable speed signs showcase several innovative and scientifically advanced features that are practical and efficient.

Our one-of-a-kind electronic system that's fully sealed makes installation easy and fast, saving cash and helping you to make roadways safer, faster. The on-board traffic info collection hardware allows for informed, real-time traffic planning. And our signs are entirely programmable, and can be set to follow a schedule or be updated thru a wireless Bluetooth connection.

They can display a single speed, flashing that number or flashing white strobes when that road's speed limit is violated. This is excellent in speed transition areas. They can be programmed to follow a stiff schedule, as can be useful in controlling regular times of traffic congestion.

TraffiCalm's intuitive, straightforward to use programming and data collection software fully fitted with Bluetooth communication abilities. That simply means the information gathered by the radar speed sign (traffic volumes, driver speeds, and even possible vandalism attempts) can be downloaded wireless from up to 30 feet away - USDOT or local municipality officers can gather info from inside their vehicles.

Additionally, Bluetooth communication allows for real time speed limit displays, adjusted to take traffic congestion, roadway conditions, and other factors into account, promoting smoother traffic flow. With TraffiCalm's Bluetooth-enabled software, users can easily configure the display (setting the speed limit and speed violation thresholds), schedule on/off operation times, and download traffic planning information from the sign.

Getting accurate traffic information can be pricey, difficult, and take time and resources that municipalities and cities simply do not have the budget for. However, as TraffiCalm's variable speed signs are promoting safer roads by inspiring driver speed limit compliance, they also gather traffic information. This accurate, real time info allows for better traffic planning for highways and urban roadways.

TraffiCalm variable signs can work in your community as well as they do around the country to help reduce speeding and makes the roads so much safer.
