Sending The Right Message

TWM Traffic Control Systems won the contract to maintain and improve traffic management systems across the historic Tay Road Bridge. Kevin Swallow speaks to Chris Rayner about the firm’s wider responsibility across the Scottish road network.

LORRY drivers are inundated with fleeting information as they make their way around the Scottish road network.
Most are signs highlighting known weight or speed limits to warnings for sharp bends, junctions and crossroads.
More often lorry drivers will be the focus of a variable message sign (VMS) that can be used to deliver a much wider variety of information from road traffic congestion, impending weather warnings, an active hazard warning for an obstacle blocking a lane or a road safety campaign.
