a traffic light display portion; and

a processor, connected to the dynamic display portion and the traffic light portion, for controlling a display of information on the dynamic display portion.

2. The airfield sign of claim 1 further comprising a static display area portion.

3. The airfield sign of claim 1 wherein the dynamic display portion is a light emitting diode (LED) display or an electronically illuminated display.

4. The airfield sign of claim 3 wherein the individual light emitting diodes are controlled by the processor.

5. The airfield sign of claim 1 wherein the processor is in communication with a remote server for receiving and transmitting signals.
