04/18/2023 - Event Management for Daytona Beach
Aimed at improving the regional mobility for Volusia County, the Event Management project deployed multiple technologies providing real-time capabilities for the monitoring and management of arterial corridors through dynamic wayfinding. Located at the nexus of Interstate 4 and Interstate 95, the Daytona Beach area experiences significant surges in traffic volumes from tourist driven seasonal peak periods and planned or unplanned regional events. Large-scale annual events result in massive upticks in traffic on the local roadways, including increases of upwards of 400% over normal volumes for events such as the Daytona 500 and Biketoberfest. With the occasional detour traffic circumventing road closures onadjacent interstates and heavy directional traffic to and from the area’s world-renowned beaches, the existing traffic management system failed to meet the needs of the Department or motoring public of the region.

Signs to Support
Pedestrian Safety Initiatives
March, 2016
Pedestrian fatalities accounted for 14% of all traffic fatalities in 2014. While total number of fatalities has fallen by over 20% over the past decade, the number of pedestrian fatalities is virtually unchanged. In 2013, 4,735 pedestrians were killed. Florida had the second highest number of fatalities in the nation with 501 fatalities or 20.8% of all fatalities in that state.
Pedestrian fatalities are getting increased attention at all levels of government. “U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has declared pedestrian and bicycle safety as a top priority for the department. Under his leadership and the Safer People, Safer Streets initiative, road safety assessments were conducted in every state and more than 230 cities have joined the Mayor’s Challenge to improve walking and biking”.1
Southern Manufacturing has introduces several blank out signs to support this initiative. Blank out signs are more effective than static signs as they are less common, more visible at night, and are only visible when the message is relevant. Most of these are dual message signs that are a version of NO RIGHT TURN and Yield to Pedestrians. Below are some of the available displays.
Regulatory signs can be made with any MUTCD display and are a variation of our edge lit Clean Profile internally illuminated sign.
