Background
Traffic safety is a critical responsibility for every city. The delivery of vehicle operator and
pedestrian information is arguably one of the most critical measures taken to protect and
safeguard the public in many different situations. A road safety mobile changeable message
center provides great benefit to this end and can be used to alert and inform motorists on roadway
construction or maintenance projects. Changeable message centers may also be used for
incident management, special events, or notification of future construction or events. In addition,
message centers, when paired with software and other traffic devices, enable Pubic Works to
quickly share notifications and manage traffic flow.
Discussion
The MB2LR Solar Tech Message Board can contribute to safer conditions on the road for drivers.
By providing drivers with real-time traffic information and communicating about upcoming
hazards, accidents, or harsh road conditions, drivers can adjust their routes or their driving
accordingly. These signs often encourage drivers to slow down and keep an eye out for hazards
on the road, which can result in fewer accidents and safer conditions for everyone. These
message boards are designed to be used to inform drivers, so they are made with durability,
reliability, and visibility in mind. A significant benefit to the MB2LR is its mobility, solar power, and
ability to communicate real-time information to the message board. Some of the MB2LR
specifications are included below:
Trailer Mounted Solar Powered Tech
54’ X 92” Case 27x48 Pixel
160-Watt Solar Array Batteries Four (4) 6-volt heavy-duty, deep-cycle
45AMP 115V charger Weight 1,560 lbs.

Staff received three quotes from reputable companies for the pricing of the MB2LR SolarTech
massage boards. The Below chart lists the results of the process:
Company Model # Amount
Quinn Cat Rental MB2LR $44,707.13
Wirant Sales Inc. MB2LR $46,626.28
Solar Technology Inc. MB2LR $49,700.00
In many cases, using a traffic message board to communicate a slowdown or accident on a major
highway leads to reduced traffic by encouraging drivers to seek alternate routes. This kind of
information that helps drivers make informed choices about where and how they will drive can
help people avoid accidents, alleviate congestion, and prevent heavy traffic from interfering with
emergency responders in the event of an accident or other emergencies. The more information
drivers have about road conditions, the better equipped they will be to keep themselves and
everyone else safe on the road.
Upon approval of this agenda Item, Staff will process a purchase order to affect the order, delivery
of the message boards.
Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the fiscal year 2021/2022 annual operating budget.
