Similarly, they can also be used for events, at airports and seaports or around contruction sites for people and traffic management to deliver key messages, inform the public or to display branding.
Our large fleet of VMS combine the latest communication technology with the highest manufacturing standards for outstanding operational reliability.

TESTIMONIALS
“SRL’s VMS signage has been great for us, it provides advance warning to motorists and pedestrians at our Urban64 project of upcoming works which helps ease traffic flow and has a real impact on the roads. We work well together on these schemes and SRL is very professional in supporting our needs and requirements.”
Rob Thorpe, Director, Priority Traffic Management
“A stand out project for me was the support SRL gave us during the NFL (National Football League) London Games at Wembley. Over 84,000 people packed into Wembley for this exciting weekend of sport and SRL’s support with the delivery, placement and risk assessment of VMS was crucial for us to provide a safe, informative event for visitors. Quick and easy to install, SRL’s VMS offered us a robust solution with the choice and flexibility of using any colour in the spectrum, which is great for events."
