Why agencies buy speed signs from TCC
Signs that react to real speeds
Radar-activated LED signs and beacons turn on only when a driver goes over the posted limit. That keeps drivers from tuning them out.
Power that fits the site
Choose solar power, or AC power with battery back-up. Solar units work where there is no wiring in the ground.
Manage them from your desk
Connected units work with the Applied Information Glance platform for remote scheduling, power monitoring and text or email alerts.
One source, 40+ manufacturers
We distribute for Econolite, JSF Technologies, Traffic Signs Inc. and more, so you can match the sign to the spec.
Midwest service and support
Factory trained field service staff, product training and onsite troubleshooting across our 11-state territory.
Local stock and local people
A multi-million dollar inventory in Woodridge, Illinois plus regional offices in Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota and Iowa.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a variable speed limit sign cost?
Pricing is quoted per project. Cost depends on the sign type, size, power option, activation method and connectivity you need. Send us your site details and we will price it.
Can the sign run without power at the site?
Yes. Solar-powered systems are available and run off-grid. AC power with battery back-up is also an option where utility power is nearby.
Can we change the schedule remotely?
Connected units work with the Applied Information Glance platform. You can adjust schedules, monitor AC voltage, battery back-up and solar charge, and get text or email alerts on failures.
Do the signs only flash when a driver is speeding?
They can. Radar-activated and vehicle-activated options trigger only when a vehicle is detected or the posted limit is exceeded. Scheduled and 24-hour continuous modes are also available.
Where does Traffic Control Corporation sell and serve?
We cover 11 Midwest states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Do you help with install and setup?
