Abstract A mobile, real-time visual information method and system to provide motorists stuck in traffic congestion the opportunity to receive instantaneous and up-to-the-second news, traffic, weather and other relevant information that is localized to that specific location by combining various transmissions with a prominent and safe display system. A display screen on a truck is deployed to a location of interest, such as a region of roadway prior to a traffic jam. The display screen then shows motorists alternate routes before the motorists encounter the traffic jam.
