By now, you've probably noticed all of the electronic signs popping up in and around Interstate 81.
Today, they got their first big test because of a major accident. [***I-81 GRAPHIC IN MONITOR***]

Jean, it's hard to tell because there was still a large backup.

V-Dot points out most motorists are still getting used to the signs and only a few were actually working today.
But when the system becomes fully operational in a few weeks, it could make driving on the interstate safer and easier for everyone.

When accidents like this happen on the interstate, backups are not far behind.
It happened Monday afternoon when this tractor trailer overturned dumping 72-thousand bottles of soda and leaving thousands of motorists frustrated.
[SOT 18:09:53]
[IN Q=When drivers know]

But tempers could be eased a bit thanks to these new signs.
They're located on the interstate and many roads leading up to I-81.
They give motorists real time traffic information so if there's an accident you can avoid it altogether.
[SOT 17:54:05]

[Runs :16]
[OUT Q=through the area]

The signs will be used for major incidents like an accident or a construction crew.
They'll tell you where it's located, which lanes are closed, and possibly how long the delay is.
There are 39 of these signs located in the Roanoke and New River Valleys.
The signs cost nearly three million dollars and V-Dot says it's money well spent, despite the fact this technology will never end all the backups.
[SOT 18:09:40]

V-Dot is also about to launch highway advisory radio.
It works like this. Signs on the interstate will tell you to turn your dial to a specific station so you can get important information during major incidents.
[DOUBLE BOXES=Jean & Justin /BAM;]

And Jean it only gets better. V-Dot eventually hopes to install sensors in the roadway that will tell you exactly how long a delay will be.
