Vehicle Activated Signs

Vehicle Activated Signs That Improve Driver Awareness and Road Safety

KING AVMS Vehicle Activated Signs deliver targeted, highly visible warnings exactly when drivers need them most. Designed to activate only when triggered by speeding vehicles or approved sensors, our VAS solutions help tackle speeding behaviour, highlight hidden hazards and improve safety without disrupting compliant road users. 

Ideal for residential streets, rural roads and private access routes, they provide a smart, effective way to influence driver behaviour and enhance road safety.

Target attention where it matters most:
Because the sign remains blank until activated, every message stands out—helping drivers notice and respond to warnings more effectively.

Encourages lower vehicle speeds:
VAS provides an immediate visual prompt that can help reduce approach speeds and reinforce local speed limits in higher-risk areas.

Supports safer roads and sites:
By highlighting hazards and influencing driver behaviour at the right moment, VAS can play an important role in improving safety outcomes across a wide range of environments.

Non-intrusive traffic calming:
Unlike physical traffic calming measures, VAS offers an effective solution without creating unnecessary delays or disruption for compliant road users.

Clear visibility in all conditions:
High-luminance, surface-mounted LED technology ensures strong contrast, excellent clarity and dependable performance both day and night.

Mains powered:
Hard-wired solutions provide dependable long-term operation with reduced on-site maintenance requirements.

Battery powered:
Flexible battery options support temporary, rapid or remote deployments where mains power is not available.

Solar assisted:
Solar-supported systems offer a lower-carbon, self-sustaining option for suitable locations, helping reduce maintenance demands and operational costs.

Geometry warnings:
Activate highly visible warning pictograms for hazards such as sharp bends or hidden junctions, giving drivers earlier notice where visibility is limited.

Environmental warnings:
Integrate with roadside sensors to display live alerts for changing conditions such as ice risk, flooding or high crosswinds.

Vulnerable road user alerts:
Support enhanced safety at higher-risk locations by warning drivers when cyclists or pedestrians are detected nearby.

Speed Limit Reminder (SLR):
Reinforce local speed limits with illuminated speed roundels and optional warning prompts such as SLOW DOWN, helping drivers react sooner.

Speed Indicator Device (SID):
Display approaching vehicle speeds in real time, providing an instant visual cue that encourages drivers to adjust their speed.

Smiley Activated Messages (SAM):
Use positive reinforcement to influence behaviour, rewarding compliant speeds with a green
