TERRACE — Two new high-
way information signs here
and in Prince Rupert should be
flashing messages soon, says a
highways ministry spokesman.

Erected over the past couple
of weeks the new signs are
more versatilé and are cheaper
to operate, says Roger Reim-
che.

“The old ones allowed .us
only one line of characters.
Now we have two lines,’’ he
said.

And they can be pro-
grammed to run any kind of
message on highway condi-
tions.or other important notes
for motorists.

‘But the big benefit is cost.
They use daylight illumination
during the day and at night
only a few electric lights are

‘needed through fibre optics,’’

said Reimche. ;
That’s much. different than

the old signs which: used .720

light bulbs each at a cost of $5

MOTORISTS TRAVELLING Hwy 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert vil be better able to
read important messages now that new signs just outside both cities have been installed, The
new signs cost $500,000 and are more efficient and versatile than the ones they replace,

New highways signs
give better messages

for each bulb.

Reimche estimated the yearly
bulb replacement cost at more
than $20,000 once labour was
taken into account.

He said the new messages
will also be far more visible in
the daytime than the old ones.

Batlery backup power is also
available for up to cight hours
if there is a power outage.

Reimche said the cost of the
two new signs, including in-
stallation, is $500,000.
