Idaho to Deploy Variable Speed Limit Signs in I-84 Work Zone

The Idaho Transportation Department will deploy variable speed limit signs within the I-84 construction zone in Canyon County to enhance safety for workers and travelers. Currently speeds in the work zone are often reduced to 55 mph or 45 mph from 65 mph depending on construction activities. With the use of variable speed limits, crews will be able to change the speed limit on digital signs to actively manage conditions in the work zone to improve driver compliance with posted speed limits.
