Speed Reduction: Display advisory or lowered speed limits to protect construction crews.
Hazard Warnings: Warn about unexpected obstacles, equipment entering traffic, or sudden delays.

Benefits:
Reduced Traffic Delays: Inform drivers about upcoming closures, detours, and delays so they can adjust their routes and avoid congestion.

Flexible and Portable: Message boards can be moved and updated as construction progresses, making them useful for changing work zones.
