112 Active Traffic Mgmt. Dynamic Speed Limits/Advisories Variable speed limit on US26 at interchange with OR47 Use of variable speed limits on US26 at a rural interchange for safety. The system activates when volumes on US26 exceed a threshold indicating heavy traffic heading eastbound from the Oregon Coast towards Portland. The reduced speed improves safety at the rural intersection. Banks OR Oregon DOT
113 Active Traffic Mgmt. Dynamic Speed Limits/Advisories Variable speed limit on US26 and I-84 Use of variable advisory speeds, queue warning, and travel times on US26 and I-84 for congestion mitigation and road weather management. Uses the same automated variable advisory speed and queue warning system that responds to congestion and road weather conditions as the OR-217 system. Project is in design in 2015 and scheduled for turn-on in 2017. Portland OR Oregon DOT
114 Active Traffic Mgmt. Dynamic Speed Limits/Advisories Low visibility warning system on I-75 There are two side-mounted LED signs located along the corridor that are changed when visibility is poor. When fog is detected on the corridor and the visibility drops below 1320 feet (ft), the system goes into a preliminary mode. The overhead DMS displays a message of Fog conditions, but the speed limit is still 70 mph. Knoxville TN empty cell
115 Active Traffic Mgmt. Dynamic Speed Limits/Advisories Variable Speed Limit on I-80 The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) implemented VSL signs on I-80 through Parley Canyon. Wanship UT Utah DOT
116 Active Traffic Mgmt. Dynamic Speed Limits/Advisories Variable speed limit on I-95/495 (Woodrow Wilson Bridge) Initially implemented for construction congestion mitigation on the Woodrow Wilson bridge in 2008, the 7 mile section of the I-95/495 beltway now has its VSL operations hours expanded (in 2009) to include daily congestion hours.

This project was decommissioned in February 2010.
