Abstract

A system for providing advertising and road information has at least one display screen, a first system to switch the display screen between the display of advertising information and road information, a traffic light controller, and a communication system operatively connected to the display screen and the traffic light controller. The traffic light controller is adapted to selectively control the display of advertising and road information on the display screen. The system can thus display advertising information when the traffic controller commands the traffic to stop at the traffic light, selectively along with road information, and to display road information alone when traffic is flowing.

Claims

1. A system for providing advertising and road information comprising:

at least one display screen;

a first system to switch the display screen between the display of advertising information and road information;

a traffic light controller;

a communication system operatively connected to the display screen and the traffic light controller; and

,

the traffic light controller adapted to selectively control the display of advertising and road information on the display screen.

2. The system for providing advertising and road information of claim 1, where the traffic light controller is further adapted to selectively control the display of advertising information on the display screen so that advertising is displayed on the display screen when the traffic controller has signaled traffic to stop.

3. The system for providing advertising and road information of claim 1, where the display screen is an LED screen.

4. The system for providing advertising and road information of claim 1 further comprising:

a mounting structure;

the mounting structure affixed to the display screen;

the mounting structure adapted to be further affixed to one of a traffic light pole or a traffic light transversal arm.

5. The system for providing advertising and road information of claim 1 where the communication system operates by means of a wireless connection.
