What size is a VMS board?

Variable message signs come in various sizes to suit different needs. The standard sizes range from small, compact units, which are ideal for retail stores in urban environments, to larger boards for highways and major events. Depending on the unit, the sign size can impact visibility and the amount of content that can be displayed, so it’s important to keep in mind what information and how much of it you want to be relayed to your target audience.

It’s important to assess the message content you’re trying to convey and see whether it can display the complete statement clearly and concisely. Once you’ve taken this into account, we recommend you consider the sign size and how visible it will be from different distances and angles.
