Secure Traffic Zones with the VADS Model 100
You never know when an event could happen, like an accident or pop-up show, to where traffic will quickly need to be contained and controlled. Here at National Sign & Signal, we specialize in this kind of thing and strive to bring signage for all kinds of groups and occasions to life.
In this month’s blog, we’re highlighting our VADS Model 100 and how it can best serve you depending on your situation or something you can have in your back pocket for when problems arise.
What is the VADS Model 100?
The National Sign and Signal VADS Model 100 retractable vehicle barriers are a motorized, retractable vehicle delineator barrier that’s specifically designed to control traffic and secure certain perimeters. The barriers themselves are inside cartridges recessed directly into the ground, this wat they can be opened and closed as required.
These sit horizontal along a roadway so they can allow traffic to pass through or restrict access.
Notable Features of the VADS Model 100
Of course, the VADS Model 100 wouldn’t be anywhere near as effective at controlling traffic without the unique features:
- Built with flexible polymeric materials and a smooth bore drive system that can survive any potential impacts
- The motor housings come sealed so rain isn’t an issue, and for more extreme temperatures, we offer more weather-resistant options
- Can be leveled by itself and easily
- Low power requirements for operation
These features not only keep the thing itself safe, but offer more convenient setup and use which is especially helpful for when situations where its needed come out of the blue.
Who Would Need the VADS Model 100?
When you think of the VADS Model 100, you probably imagine a railroad crossing, which is one of the most common places they’re used. However, there are plenty of other businesses and entities that will need these at some point.
For instance, municipalities and traffic departments maybe include one if construction is going on somewhere in the town and they need to manage reversible lanes or alter traffic flow for a particular time in the day. Or police and fire departments might temporarily place one down to secure an accident scene or close a road they need open.
There are no limits to when the VADS Model 100 might be necessary, which is why we strive to have the best technology and most accurate automated signage possible.
