Trusted Technology for Roadways and TMCs

Daktronics has long been synonymous with reliability and innovation in the transportation sector. Our NTCIP-compliant Vanguard dynamic message signs (DMS) are deployed across the globe, delivering real-time updates, universally recognized MUTCD symbols, and crisp graphics that guide motorists, reduce congestion, and enhance roadway safety. These signs are designed and manufactured in the United States, meeting the rigorous standards of the Build America, Buy America Act, from circuit board assembly to final system integration in Brookings, South Dakota.

But our commitment doesn’t stop at the roadside. Inside TMCs, Daktronics’ advanced visual solutions empower operators to monitor traffic conditions, respond to incidents, and coordinate flow with precision. Whether it’s a high-speed freeway or a bustling urban corridor, our technology ensures that transportation agencies have the tools they need to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently.
