Providing valuable information to motorists through a Variable Message Sign can benefit the motorist by relaying important insight on motorway updates. Besides, this is only one of the situations it can be used for. Our movable or portable VMS trailer signage offers Melbourne several other benefits.
The Importance of VMS Trailers on Roads
Variable Message Signs (VMS) are electronic signs used to inform the public about road traffic updates, public safety, events and more. VMS trailers are commonly deployed on highways, motorways and rural areas to provide critical information to drivers. You may have seen one recently, perhaps during a traffic jam, when a VMS trailer informed you of an accident ahead, helping you prepare for the delay. These trailers play a vital role in keeping drivers informed and safe on the road.

Key Benefits of Using Variable Message Sign Trailer
Reduces traffic congestion
Traffic congestion is an issue faced by road authorities and motorists daily, exacerbated by roadway expansions, growing travel demand and infrastructure development. To mitigate this, Variable Message Sign (VMS) trailers have proven effective in traffic management, reducing congestion by providing real-time information to road users. These mobile signage trailers offer a dynamic solution, empowering motorists to make informed decisions and alternate route choices, thereby minimising congestion and enhancing overall traffic flow.
Enhancing road safety with variable message sign trailers
In Australia, approximately 1,200 lives are lost annually due to road-related accidents, according to the National Road Safety Strategy. Variable Message Sign (VMS) trailers can play a crucial role in preventing accidents by providing advanced warnings to motorists, especially those familiar with a particular route. By displaying critical information, VMS trailers can help drivers prepare for unexpected road conditions, potentially saving lives.
Key Applications of VMS Trailers
- Lane Closure Advanced Warning: VMS trailers can alert drivers to upcoming road closures, updating them on changing traffic conditions.
- Speed Limit Changes: VMS trailers can be strategically positioned to communicate speed limit alterations, advising drivers of changes or reductions.
Multi-Message Capabilities
Portable VMS signage can display a range of messages across multiple screens, enabling effective and rapid communication with motorists and pedestrians. Additionally, VMS trailers can be integrated with various accessories to provide detailed traffic insights, including:
- Real-time traffic updates on road incidents
- Speed limit detection and alerts

We are proud to say our VMS trailers allow road authorities to significantly enhance road safety and reduce the risk of accidents.
