LAS VEGAS (AP) — More than 40 messaging boards are set to begin operation this week on Las Vegas' busiest highways.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the 42 digital traffic boards along Interstate 15 and U.S. Highway 95 will launch Wednesday.
The LED signs will give real-time driver information. This includes crashes, speed limit changes and lane restrictions. The digital signs will allow for fluctuations of speed limits in hopes of reducing traffic congestion. The boards were scheduled initially to start in December but were delayed because of fiber network issues.
