When traveling the busy roads of Southern California, motorists certainly appreciate any advance notice of changing conditions or situations that lie ahead. Fortunately, there’s a very effective tool easily deployed to provide this advanced information – a changeable message sign (CMS). (also known as a variable message board) Given the importance of this messaging device, Roadway Construction Service has developed a responsive program of changeable message sign rental to meet the varied needs of Southern California. As with all our services, this program strives to maximize efficiency while adhering to the industry’s highest safety standards.

Before delving deeper, it’s important to understand the precise function of CMS boards for traffic control. Basically, this device displays electronically generated, real time traffic-related info to motorists. Is there a hazard ahead? An unexpected traffic snarl? A public event? The signage informs drivers in bright, LED lettering. The upshot, of course, is that motorists get plenty of preparation time for whatever lies ahead. Always a welcome benefit, particularly on a crowded road.

California Traffic Control Planning
As is the policy with all our other services, Roadway Construction Service conducts intensive traffic control planning before deploying changeable message signs. Rest assured, we don’t just waltz onto the scene and set those beautiful message boards in place. Many — and we’re talking dozens and dozens – of variables must be analyzed and factored in by our team of master strategists. For instance, there’s the whole question of spacing between signs when more than one is deployed. Currently, Cal Trans requires a distance of at least 1, 000 feet between the message devices.
Then there’s the whole matter of unified messaging. To ensure signage provides effective traffic control, our strategists must develop consistent messaging content that applies only to the situation at hand. No random excursion into other matters. And speaking of content, we also must adhere to a minimum message requirement. Which means, we’re duty-bound to communicate, at the very least, the traffic-related problem and its location. If appropriate, we also must include a recommended action for motorists. Implementing all this is the responsibility of a carefully selected CMS operator, who’s been specially trained for the assignment.

To create an effective plan for road traffic control, our strategists also must know and safeguard against what not to do during a sign deployment. One of the major forbidden acts is to include advertising or even a public service blurb in the messaging. Equally unacceptable is messaging that directs drivers to random routes. Avoiding these and other unacceptable steps underscores the importance of maintaining strict adherence to Cal Trans requirements. No worries on that score when you partner with Roadway Construction Service. With our experienced team at the helm, full compliance with these requirements is assured. This helps our strategists secure rapid approvals for all submitted plans.
California Traffic Control Permitting Services
Planners also must be masters of traffic control permitting – the process of securing critical authorizations for plan implementation. No hurdles to jump there. Our strategists know the territory from one end to the other, giving them a major edge in the permit acquisition process. And through years and years of ongoing contact with municipal decision makers, they also know exactly what’s expected from the powers that be. Together, our team’s in-depth knowledge and long-term professional relationships equal rapid, record-setting permit acquisition that leaves the competition way back at the starting gate. All of which means, delays are virtually unheard of when we’re leading the charge.
While expertise figures prominently in the field of variable message board rentals, technical factors also have a major role to play. One example of technology in action is the long-distance operation of these electronic devices. That’s right. With a simple smartphone or other portable device, an operator can access an internet connection to update or modify sign messaging remotely. Even power supply gets a technological boost from cutting edge solar panels and high performance battery options that keep signs operational round the clock.

We’re pleased to say we can accommodate a wide spectrum of needs and situations thanks to the balanced blend of expertise and technology evident in our automated message board rental and service.

Our work zone traffic management program also is bolstered by the deployment of changeable message signs. Since work zone signage will be set up, proper CMS placement is crucial. The last thing you want is to cover up existing messaging. So, as we do in all endeavors, we exercise great care in the deployment of every work zone CMS. The object is to ensure full visibility of this sign – and all the others. And that takes the kind of precision that distinguishes Roadway Construction Service from the also-rans.
