The signs will be used on the highways and interstates around Oregon for chain restriction signing, to advise drivers of the need to use snow chains on their vehicle.
Skyline rotary drum CMS are a cost effective option for traffic signs as they draw a fraction of the power and are virtually maintenance-free compared to average LED traffic signs. Communication between the sign and control room is highly effective, providing full confirmation of the drum position and message displayed.
“We are excited to have Skyline as our supplier for our new drum signs,” said Doug Spencer, ITS standards engineer for ODOT. “Our first priority is the safety of the travelling public and Skyline’s rotary drum signs will provide the appropriate messaging to keep travellers aware of the chain restrictions due to snow and ice conditions.”
