Why VMS Cannot Replace STOP, GIVE WAY, or NO ENTRY Signs in Traffic Control Signs
VMS cannot take the place of STOP, GIVE WAY, or NO ENTRY signs. This is because of legal, safety, and technical reasons. These signs give rules that drivers must follow. VMS only give advice to drivers. Static regulatory signs make sure people obey the rules. They help keep everyone safe on the road. Electronic signs can sometimes lower traffic violations better than static signs. But Australian law does not let VMS replace important traffic control signs. People need clear and permanent signs to stay safe and keep order.
Why Mandatory Signs Are Still Essential Alongside VMS Displays in Long-Term Projects
Mandatory signs are still very important in every long-term road project, even when there are advanced VMS displays. Construction companies must follow strict rules for road construction traffic signs. Clear and easy-to-see signs help keep workers and drivers safe. These mandatory signs use reflective materials and bright colours. They give steady guidance and make the rules clear. VMS gives real-time updates, but only mandatory signs always keep people safe and following the rules. Good signs help manage traffic and keep everyone informed during the project, even when things change.
