Do I need a permit to install a VMS trailer?
In most cases, yes, a permit is required to deploy a variable message sign (VMS) on public roads or road reserves. Permit requirements can vary depending on the local council or road authority.
If your VMS is being used on private property, a permit may not be necessary, but it’s always best to confirm.
Our team can assist with permit requirements and approvals to ensure your signage is compliant and set up correctly, giving you peace of mind before deployment.
Is it easy to operate an electronic sign, such as the VMS board?
If you think variable message signs with alternating graphics and displays look technical and difficult to operate, you’re wrong. Same goes for our portable traffic lights and whatever equipment you hire from us at Australian Portable Sign Hire. Our signs and equipment are designed to be user-friendly and easy to operate. The electronic signage we hire Victoria wide has a remote programming system that is easily controlled from any internet-enabled computer, tablet or mobile.
Who controls the messages that flash across the VMS trailer?
When you hire a variable message sign (VMS) trailer, you have the flexibility to control the messages yourself, or we can manage them for you.This also applies to variable speed limit signs, allowing messages and speed settings to be updated in real time. Whether conditions change on site, traffic volumes shift, or messaging needs to be adjusted, you can respond quickly and effectively.
Do you have equipment that can detect vehicles’ speed?
Yes, we hire out speed radar devices that can display and log driver speeds. These are usually used in conjunction with a VMS board or variable speed limit sign in Victoria.
