The FAST-VMS Radar Speed Trailer is a versatile speed calming solution designed to help law enforcement agencies inform roadway users of their speed and traffic incidents. Ideal for events, road closures and more, the trailer is equipped with highly visible 30” LED digits and variable messaging capabilities of one to three lines of text. The trailer stands at seven and a half feet tall, but its VMS display sign folds down for easy portability.
The variable messaging feature gives users the ability to program a default message when speeding is not detected (i.e. “SLOW DOWN” or “CONSTRUCTION AHEAD”). The trailer also offers three alert stages that can be programmed to trigger at different speed thresholds, displaying the speed limit on the left side of the sign and an alert on the right.
