Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)

The newest technology in immediate information for highway drivers is the Intelligent Transportation System. Controlled by satellite, these 16 electronic billboards are located throughout Michigan. Terrorist threats, changing weather updates and traffic conditions can be immediately sent to the billboards for direct contact with the public. Knowing that all eyes will be on these billboards, and knowing that maintenance funds are limited, the DOT decided that hot dip galvanizing was the most durable and sustainable corrosion protection for these innovative structures.
