Road crashes are predictable and preventable, yet over 37,000 people die and many more injured each year on U.S. roadways. One area we examine are points of roadway entry and exit for heavy commercial vehicles (i.e. Emergency Vehicles, Mining Operations, Rural School Buses). We know changes to the flow of traffic create increased vulnerability for accidents. Safety measures can save lives. Advance warning is vital to alert drivers of changes to driving conditions. When driver awareness and attention can be captured, the behavior of motorists can be altered to improve safety.
- Reduce Speed
- Lane Changes
- Stop or Yield to merging/oncoming vehicles
- Improved Driver Focus

How does SAWS work?
Powered by a proprietary wireless network (SAWSCOM™), the system is designed to detect moving construction vehicles in a defined area using a traffic sensing device (TSD). The TSD activates ultra-bright LED. Edge-Lit Signs for a set amount of time to warn motorists of vehicles entering the roadway. The SAWS system only flashes when triggered by approaching construction vehicles.
