LEGENDVIZ®

Increase legend visibility distance in low-light conditions by as much as 100% with lighted traffic signs, according to Texas A&M TTI testing

 

overview

OVERVIEW

Static signs are often difficult to see at night, especially in low-light conditions and inclement weather. And with 50% of traffic fatalities occurring in the evening hours — despite only a quarter of driving taking place during this time — it’s imperative to have the proper measures in place (NSC). Enhanced nighttime visibility can immediately boost both roadway compliance and driver awareness, leading to a safer environment for all roadway users. Lighted traffic signs like LegendViz® are designed with visibility in mind, utilizing illumination technology to create a stark contrast between the legends and dark environment.

Featuring highly visible, LED-illuminated legends, LegendViz® offers enhanced sign legibility at any location — all without the need for retroreflectivity or headlights. The lighted traffic signs are proven to increase sign legibility distance by as much as 100% compared to standard signs, according to a closed-course driver trial and statistical analysis by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI). The sign’s long-lasting LEDs brighten according to ambient levels, making it easier for motorists to see critical signage from offset and perpendicular angles, as well as in the dark, fog, rain or snow.

LegendViz® is available as standalone signs or in tandem with any Intelligent Transportation System, such as our Wrong-Way Alert System or Intersection Conflict Warning System. All signs:

  • Feature dusk-to-dawn legend illumination
  • Allow for ease of installation
  • Are MUTCD compliant and made in the USA
  • Can feature flashing perimeter LEDs
  • Provide quick and easy one-person installation
  • Are available in AC or solar power*

*Autonomy depends on installation specifications

50 percent of traffic deaths occur at night, despite just 25 percent of driving occurring at night

* ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL

STUDIES

LegendViz® Sign Legibility Study

A nighttime, closed-course study by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) involving standard traffic signs, traditional BlinkerSigns and LegendViz® BlinkerSigns revealed there was “strong statistical evidence” that the LegendViz® BlinkerSigns increased sign legibility distance.

When placed on the right side of the road from the driver’s point of view, LegendViz® BlinkerSigns provided a 267 percent increase in legibility distance over standard signs.

NEXT-LEVEL NIGHTTIME LEGIBILITY

Long-lasting LEDs in the sign legend automatically adjust according to ambient light levels, becoming brighter at night to optimize sign visibility and legibility.

This innovation is ideal for:

  • Low ambient light conditions
  • Areas with perpendicular or offset angles
  • Problematic locations

Plus, add an extra layer of safety with flashing perimeter LEDs via the LegendViz® BlinkerSign®.
