What is the function of variable message panels?
Signage: Beacons and temporary signage
Explanation
**Variable message signs** are devices placed on roads that change their information according to traffic circumstances. Their main function is to **warn drivers of potential dangers**. These signs also provide information and recommendations that must be followed to ensure road safety.
Unlike other signs, such as **delineation signs**, which are used to indicate roadworks and obstacles, variable message signs focus on alerting about changing situations on the road, such as adverse weather conditions or accidents. This helps drivers make informed decisions and avoid dangerous situations.
