Details
Commonly deployed in school zones, neighborhoods and high-accident areas, numerous options provide a strong measure of traffic calming unmatched by other roadway signs.

Wanco engineers designed the new full-matrix radar-speed display to be the largest, most visible display on the market. The compact, portable trailer is intended for use in neighborhoods and alongside highways.

When a motorist exceeds the speed limit, the display flashes the vehicle’s speed. For excessive speed, a selectable overspeed message flashes slow down or a frowning face symbol, together with flashing red-and-blue “police” lights that attract attention.

Factory-configured units show motorists’ speed in mph (one or two digits) or km/h (up to three digits — see international model).

A regulatory sign above the display features changeable speed-limit numbers for easy setup in any speed zone.

The speed-limit sign and electronic display rotate to face traffic. The display’s LEDs have visors and shades that produce superior angularity and visibility.

The trailer’s see-through design puts pedestrians in view, improving their safety—particularly in dangerous, high-risk areas. The solar‑powered battery-charging system provides longer run times.
