Description
- The present disclosure relates to a dynamic or variable signalling panel, in LED technology, for application in road environments, road and traffic signalling, comprising a signalling face which may be installed at predetermined angles of visibility with respect to traffic roads and to vehicles traveling on the roads.
- The traditional solution of variable road signalling consists of LED technology electronic displays, which are installed in space/means above the traffic lane, tunnel ceiling or on gantry, or at the side of the road, on posts or side supports, but always in visibility angles perpendicular to the road, of front surface with respect to the vehicles traveling on the road.
- The size of these displays, and hence the scope of their function, depends on the existence of minimum physical conditions for their applicability.

EP1596352 refers to an electronic panel for in-line variable road signalling which rotates about a drive shaft driven by a motor.
