What kind of electronic signs will I see?
Approximately every half mile drivers will see electronic signs over each lane of traffic.
The electronic signs will inform drivers of incidents or lane closures and advise drivers on recommended speeds based on traffic or weather conditions.
This innovative use of technology provides real-time information to drivers that improves safety and keeps traffic moving to reduce congestion, keep speeds steady and makes commuting safer.
Over the MnPASS Express Lanes, signs provide drivers with needed information such as whether the lane
is open and the toll being charged for use of the lane at that time.
MnPASS Express Lanes sign examples:
Express lane open
Signage in the other lanes will be used as needed to indicate reduced speed due to traffic volumes, weather conditions or incidents.
