Children perceive areas with traffic completely differently to adults. They are unable to judge the speed of fast oncoming vehicles correctly. Play streets, school crossings and calmed areas with a 30 km/h speed limit are all potential danger zones for children, as drivers often exceed the prescribed maximum speed in built-up areas inadvertently.
viatext has a dialogue display with coloured LEDs to indicate to drivers that they are driving too fast. They are triggered by via traffic controlling’s innovative radar technology. The viatext LED displays can show various freely programmable text messages: “THANK YOU”, “TOO FAST”, “SCHOOL” or “SLOW DOWN”. They give drivers feedback on their driving behaviour. The driver feedback is a prominent version of road safety education. Warning panels with text messages quickly grab the attention of road users and initiate a dialogue with them. LED text messages can be displayed in the familiar traffic-light colours of yellow-red or green-red in order to underline the carrot-and-stick principle in colour.
