Hubs for students, staff, and the broader community, colleges and universities serve many functions. Between all of the events and the day-to-day unpredictability of traffic on campus, effective coordination and resources are required to deal with the campus safety challenges that occur daily, weekly, and monthly.
All Traffic Solutions® radar speed and message signs can help with messaging, traffic control, and more to enhance campus safety. ATS has been helping colleges and universities manage traffic and improve overall safety for 25 years.
In this article, we’ll review how ATS radar speed and message signs can help your campus:
Manage Traffic and Direct Drivers
Help visitors navigate around your campus with variable message signage. Deploy the portable campus wayfinding signage on sidewalks, the side of roadways, inside buildings, or around entrances and exits to help visitors. The bright message display from ATS signs can help reduce confusion and alleviate traffic congestion by clearly showing people where to go. And since messages can be sent or scheduled remotely with TraffiCloud®, users can set the messages in advance to reflect start and end times, or update the sign with new information as needed, without having to go out to the sign itself.
InstAlert variable message signs are the only variable message signs on the market that fold in half, making them easy to carry and store in the trunk of a car or a closet space. Mount signs on a portable post, pole, trailer, or vehicle hitch in just a couple of minutes. You can display up to six screens of custom text and graphics.
Rapidly Share Campus Safety Alerts
Easily share up-to-date information quickly to ensure the safety of your campus’s students and staff. Since InstAlert variable message signs are easy to store and deploy, you can share your message anywhere. With TraffiCloudⓇ, you can remotely update the messages on one or all of your signs across your campus. If there is an emergency, the user can send updates to one or all of their signs within minutes. Or if there is a sudden change, it is easy to remotely update the message without having to physically go out to the sign itself. This saves time and makes the most of every second to share the most up-to-date information.
Post Road Closures and Detours
Whether due to construction or events, our radar speed and message signs can clearly communicate information to help drivers navigate unfamiliar roadways and changing traffic patterns. If roads are closed, the signs can display that information so drivers can reach their destination via another roadway.
Improve Campus Traffic Flow and Crosswalk Safety
Protect students and staff in and around campus premises. Our signs can be used to remind everyone to slow down and be mindful of pedestrians, helping students, staff, and visitors to travel safely across campus (whether by foot, in a vehicle, or on a bicycle).
Enhance Campus Security 
Enhance campus security with ATS 5 FLEX trailers. They are a portable, plug-and-play solution to power cameras, sensors, and detection technologies, with extended runtime.
These trailers are most commonly used to house and power surveillance cameras and LPR cameras to monitor events and areas of interest around your campus and help improve safety. Or have LPR (license plate recognition) cameras deployed to monitor traffic around your campus. Offering a flexible design and variety of configuration options, installing
your preferred equipment is simple, saving you time and avoiding additional fees for installation and integration.
By integrating your desired technology, the ATS 5 FLEX can meet your campus needs as a self-sustaining surveillance trailer, AI camera trailer, and more! These trailers can also power a variable message sign or radar message sign, so you can share messages, reduce speeding, or collect traffic data while using your other equipment of choice.
Reduce Speeding and Collect Traffic Data
Speeding problems can plague campuses, creating a danger for other drivers and pedestrians. Our radar speed and message signs can help colleges and universities reduce speeding and enhance campus safety.
Radar speed signs are lightweight and easy to install, giving drivers direct feedback on how fast they’re driving. Beyond being a visual deterrent, our radar speed signs collect traffic data whether the sign is displaying speeds or not. That data can be used to help understand where and when there are speeding issues, helping law enforcement prioritize where to deploy officers to monitor roads. Easily generate up to 6 ready-made reports, including an Enforcement Priorities report of speeds, vehicle counts, and more. Share these easily digestible reports to designated users, adjacent agencies, and community members.
SpeedAlert radar message signs make drivers more aware of how fast they are traveling and remind them to mind the speed limit. They can also share speed-dependent messaging, which shows the speed of approaching vehicles and displays custom messages to drivers traveling at different speeds. It automatically warns speeding drivers to slow down and thanks compliant drivers for driving safely.

All Traffic Solutions’ signs can be enabled with TraffiCloud, a secure and user-friendly cloud-based portal for remote equipment management. Securely access, monitor, and manage all your traffic devices, messaging, and data from any Internet-connected computer or smartphone.

ATS radar speed and message signs collect traffic data and easily generate 6 ready-made reports that can be shared with stakeholders. The data and reports provide insights to optimize resource allocation and address speeding issues effectively on and around your campus.
