Variable Speed Limit Project
Wyoming Highway Patrol
A few years ago, the Wyoming Highway Patrol launched a new initiative called the Variable Speed Limit Project. The Highway Patrol uses traffic and weather information to remotely control the speed and messaging of the signs minute-by-minute to ensure the safe and smooth flow of vehicles on Interstate 80. The program has been a huge success, with a 50% reduction in injury accidents and 20% reduction in accidentals overall.
