    • The highly visible LED road signs are designed to alert drivers of an upcoming intersection or traffic hazard, and to reduce their speed if they are travelling above the speed threshold that is pre-determined for that location.
    • The signs are vehicle activated signs meaning they are triggered by an approaching vehicle. The LEDs on the signs are inactive (unlit) by default and as a vehicle approaches, the speed is detected by the sign’s radar.
    • The speed threshold at which the sign is activated is not the speed limit for that location, rather, one that is pre-determined as a safe speed to approach the upcoming intersection or traffic hazard.
    • More information about LED road signs is available on Council’s website www.brisbane.qld.gov.au by searching for ‘LED road signs’.
