    The revised MS1 is a lightweight motorway signal sign with a transparent front surface that is only 21% of the total area, aimed at reducing reflectivity. It uses an 11x13 pixel red and amber LED matrix with a 50mm pitch and can include 4 flashing red and amber lanterns. An I2C address plug contains identification and setup information used to configure the sign. The sign enclosure is made of composite material for light weight and includes a heater and sensors monitored by a single board computer that controls the hardware and communicates via network protocols.
