Description
The trailer is a portable, self-contained speed display unit that is towed to the desired location. It is left on the roadway to display speeds of oncoming vehicles on a highly visible LED (light emitting diode) display.
A speed limit sign mounted on the unit reminds drivers what that the actual speed limit is on the roadway that they are on. The unit also has the capability of recording the speeds of the vehicles.
