About the VMS:

In a continued effort to provide real-time traffic information to its motorists, in early August 2000, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority installed and activated nine Variable Message Signs (VMS). The VMS can be programmed to disseminate specific information on current roadway conditions, either on the New Jersey Turnpike or neighboring facilities, major events or general safety messages.

These programmed messages displayed on the VMS are remotely controlled from the Traffic Operations Center located at the Authority's Traffic Management Center in Woodbridge. Each VMS is independent, thus messages can be customized to address the particular needs of a specific portion of the roadway.
