Cost of Traffic Message Boards

Traveling down the highway you may come across these signs that are picture on the left.  These can be called traffic message boards or arrow boards.  They are used to inform drivers, for example, it could say “road work ahead” or “heavy traffic slow down.”

There are many different types of traffic message boards, so the cost can vary.  There are solar powered boards, boards that come with laptop computers, and boards that simply travel on the back of trucks.  The most expensive boards I came across retail at around $22,000 while the cheapest came to $5,000.
