  • Patent number: 9082304
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclose an enhanced barrel mounted traffic message board system for displaying information to traffic. A traffic message board is adjustably coupled to a pole and configured to display the traffic information to the traffic. A battery provides power to the traffic message board and a solar panel provides power to the battery. A traffic barrel is positioned around the pole and over a base plate that supports the pole. An internal structure positioned within the barrel couples with the base plate to provide support to the pole.
