Lit LED Road Signs
Orange Traffic’s lit LED road signs are designed to convey clear and context-based messages at strategic locations in the road network. These panels can serve to issue location-specific safety messages (e.g., use of reserved lanes or turning restrictions according to intersection configurations). Messages can be displayed permanently or activated in keeping with conditions, intersection timings or predetermined schedules.
Description
Each LED panel was designed to ensure the best visual appearance on the market. Orange Traffic uses high-quality LEDs designed for road applications as well as its exclusive constant current modular power supply system. Brightness is controlled by current intensity rather than pulsed signals. Consequently, the messages are stable and provide maximum visibility in all lighting conditions.
Orange Traffic’s LED panels also enable energy cost savings because they consume up to 90% less electricity than conventional fiber optic panels. All components are designed and manufactured to reduce operating costs by facilitating maintenance and upgrading. For example, the LED panels’ front assemblies can be replaced in minutes using a regular screwdriver and power supplies are modular. Power supplies can be installed on each panel or consolidated in a more accessible area in order to minimize lane closures during maintenance operations.
Because of their modular design, Orange Traffic’s LED panels are easily adaptable to your needs. Orange Traffic offers a full array of predesigned panels and it is possible to combine several messages on a single panel. Orange Traffic can also custom design specific or oversized panels. Feel free to inform us about your particular needs.
