Two market leading companies in the field of signage systems for strategic highways, urban road networks and rail sectors have joined forces. The integration of Variable Message Signs Limited (VMSL) and Techspan Systems brought together two of the leading UK LED display suppliers, creating a stronger business with a broad product range and an extensive technical capability.
Following the acquisition of VMSL in 2014, Hill & Smith Limited realised the opportunity to create a world class provider of variable message signs and systems as part of its HS Roads Technology Division. The new combined business now operates under the name of Variable Message Signs and can comfortably claim to have one of the largest installed bases of equipment in the UK highways sector.

Variable Message Signs is recognised for providing market leading technical solutions demonstrated by decades of experience, understanding and customer care. We are renowned worldwide for Managing Traffic Safely. Variable message signs for the highways sector, referred to as strategic VMS, encompass signs and systems to aid traffic management, predominately for major road schemes and bridge flow control.
The electronic variable message signs have become a familiar sight on the motorways and major trunk roads of many countries. They provide road users with information on road conditions ahead, improving safety and helping to reduce congestion. The MS3 Series consists of three models offering 2 and 3 lines of text, with character heights of 320mm or 400mm.
Our MS4 technology is designed to increase the quality of information given to motorists on major highways by operating in dual colour, or up to five individual colours. The LED, modular, full matrix display area is capable of displaying an almost infinite range of pictograms, aspects and legends. MS4 signs can be mounted on a variety of structures, including a cantilever, and can be controlled by GSM, radio, TCP-IP, Internet and an RS485 bus.
The Advanced Motorway Indicator from Variable Message Signs has been developed to meet the ever-changing needs of traffic authorities whilst fulfilling the expectations of the motorist. Conforming to European specification EN12966, amongst its many market-leading features, AMI offers Optical Feedback providing actual light-emitted detection to enable legal enforcement.
