Breadcrumb Here By providing clear, real-time guidance to drivers on lane availability and usage, Lane Control Signs are designed to manage traffic flow effectively, making these signs particularly essential for improving road safety across UK highways. By clearly indicating open, closed, or restricted lanes, Lane Control Signs help to prevent road accidents, reduce congestion, and are effective in managing dynamic traffic situations, significantly increasing safety and keeping traffic moving smoothly. These signs are designed for use in areas such as tunnels, bridges, highways, tidal flow roads, ferry terminals and busy urban intersections. Ferry Terminals: For lane management onto ferries, ensuring safety for motorists of all forms, whether that be lorries, cars, vans, etc. Tunnels and Bridges: Lane Control Signs are critical for managing traffic in tunnels and bridges, where lane availability often changes due to maintenance, closures, or heavy traffic. The signs provide real-time lane status updates, helping to direct traffic efficiently and safely. Tidal Flow Roads: These signs are ideal for managing traffic at busy urban intersections where lane changes or closures need to be communicated clearly in order to prevent congestion and accidents. Motorways and Highways: Lane Control Signs help direct traffic on multi-lane highways, indicating which lanes are open or closed due to accidents, maintenance, or variable speed limits. They play a crucial role in reducing congestion and ensuring smooth traffic flow. Parking Facilities: Lane Control Signs are also useful in large parking areas or multi-storey car parks, guiding vehicles to open lanes or directing them away from closed or restricted areas for smoother traffic management. Emergency Traffic Management: In case of accidents or sudden lane closures, Lane Control Signs can be updated instantly to alert drivers, helping to reroute traffic and avoid further incidents.

How Our Lane Control Signs Work
Our Lane Control Signs feature bright, high-visibility LED displays that can show a range of symbols, including green arrows, red Xs, and other directional indicators. These signs are controlled remotely, allowing for real-time updates based on traffic conditions. Lane Control Signs are both a reliable and cost-effective solution for managing traffic across various environments. These Signs use low-power SMD LEDs, making them energy-efficient. The system can be easily integrated with traffic management software for seamless operation, therefore ensuring that lane status is always up to date.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
TIDAL FLOW LANE – VVB ENGINEERING
VVB Engineering partnered with Messagemaker Displays to address the recurring failures in the previously existing Thermotor lane control signs along the A470 North Road in Cardiff. The existing signs often malfunctioned due to water ingress, requiring costly repairs.
The malfunctions also lead to frequent road or lane closures. Messagemaker Displays reverse-engineered and then installed new tidal flow signs to seamlessly integrate with the existing UTC control system, ensuring greater reliability and reducing the operational disruptions caused by sign failures.
BESPOKE TUNNEL SIGNAGE – TRANSPORT FOR LONDON
Messagemaker Displays Ltd. were contacted in order to supply a bespoke retrofit LED Tunnel Lane Control Signal (TLCS) signage solution to meet the Transport for London (TfL) specification.
The TLCS signs, installed in the Fore Street Tunnel in north London, were designed to be easy and swift to install, which then allowed the replacement work to be completed in just one night.
