Vehicle Speed Display Signs South Africa
Motion-Activated Radar Speed Signs for Roads, Estates, Schools, Mines & Private Property
Make drivers aware of their speed with a clear, real-time LED vehicle speed display.
CyberTrek supplies motion-activated vehicle speed signs designed to detect approaching vehicles and display their current speed on a large, highly visible LED display. Speed limits can be adjusted using the supplied remote control, allowing the sign to be configured for different roads, sites and speed restrictions.
Our speed signs are suitable for private roads, residential estates, parking areas, schools, campuses, mines, industrial facilities, commercial properties and busy yards.
What Do These Speed Signs Do?
The sign uses an integrated radar to detect an approaching vehicle and displays its speed on the LED screen.
The display can provide green or red driver feedback depending on whether the vehicle is travelling within or above the programmed speed limit.
These are speed display signs, not traffic cameras. They display the detected vehicle speed but do not provide licence plate recognition, vehicle identification or recorded photographic evidence.
Choose the Right Speed Sign
| Model | Power | Display | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Digit Speed Sign with Smiley/Sad Face | 12V DC | 10–199 km/h | Green/red display plus smiley/sad face feedback |
| 2-Digit Speed Sign – 12V | 12V DC | 10–99 km/h | Ideal for 12V, battery or professionally designed solar installations |

1. 3-Digit Speed Sign with Smiley & Sad Face
The 3-digit motion-activated speed sign provides a large real-time speed display together with visual driver feedback.
When a vehicle is travelling within the programmed speed limit, the display can show the speed in green with a green smiley face. When the vehicle exceeds the programmed limit, the display changes to red with a sad face.

2. 2-Digit Speed Sign – 12V
The 2-digit 12V speed sign is designed for installations where 12V DC power is available or where the sign will be connected to a professionally designed external battery or solar power system.
It displays the detected vehicle speed in real time and provides green or red feedback depending on the programmed speed limit.

3. 2-Digit Speed Sign – 220V
The 2-digit 220V speed sign is designed for fixed installations where mains power is available.
It provides the same real-time vehicle speed display and adjustable speed-limit function as the 12V version, but is designed to operate directly from a 220V AC power supply.
- 2-digit LED speed display
- Speed display range: 10–99 km/h
- Vehicle detection range: 10–250 km/h
- Detection distance: up to 200m

- Designed for fixed installations
Speed Display Signs vs Traffic Cameras
It is important to choose the right type of equipment for your application. A speed display sign and an intelligent traffic camera perform very different jobs.
| Requirement | Speed Display Sign | AI Traffic Camera |
|---|---|---|
| Display vehicle speed to drivers | Yes | Not primarily designed for this |
| Detect vehicle speed | Yes | Yes |
| Show speed on large roadside LED display | Yes | No |
| Licence plate recognition | No | Yes |
| Identify vehicles | No | Yes |
| Vehicle classification | No | Yes |
| Traffic analysis | No | Yes |
| Photographic/video evidence | No | Yes |
Need a Camera Instead of Only the Speed Sign?
If your requirement is not simply to show drivers their speed, but to identify vehicles, read licence plates, analyse traffic and record vehicle information, you need a traffic camera to run alongside the speed display sign.
For these applications, we recommend the Milesight AI Road Traffic Radar Pro Bullet Plus Camera.
The Milesight combines 3D radar, ANPR, AI vehicle analysis and high-resolution video in a professional traffic-monitoring system.
It is suitable for applications where you need more information than a roadside speed display can provide, including vehicle identification, licence plate recognition, speed detection, vehicle classification and traffic monitoring.
Solar-Powered Speed Signs – An Important Consideration
Our 12V speed signs can be connected to an appropriate external solar or battery power system. However, CyberTrek does not provide or install complete solar installations for these signs.
A reliable solar-powered speed sign installation is more than simply supplying a solar panel and a battery. The system needs to be properly designed for the location and expected operating conditions, taking into account the sign's power requirements, available sunlight, battery capacity, charging equipment, mounting position and local weather conditions.
For this reason, we recommend using a professional local installer from your area who can assess the site and design the complete solar and mounting solution.
We supply the speed sign; the installer should supply and install the appropriate solar system, poles and site infrastructure.
This approach is particularly important because poles and other large mounting components are not practical items for normal courier delivery and need to be sourced and installed at the set-up location.
Installation & Setup
CyberTrek supplies the speed signs but does not provide installation, pole installation, electrical installation or complete site setup.
For the best result, we recommend using a suitably qualified professional installer who can assess the installation location and take care of the required mounting, power supply and site infrastructure.
For 220V installations, the electrical connection should be completed by an appropriately qualified professional.
For solar or battery-powered 12V installations, a professional installer can design and install the complete power system rather than simply adding a panel and battery to the sign.
Where Are Vehicle Speed Display Signs Used?
- Residential estates – encourage safer driving on private estate roads.
- Schools and campuses – make drivers more aware of their speed in pedestrian areas.
- Mining sites – provide visible speed feedback around controlled roads and yards.
- Industrial facilities – help reinforce internal speed limits.
- Private roads – display vehicle speed without requiring a conventional traffic camera.
- Parking areas – provide visible speed feedback in busy vehicle areas.
- Commercial properties – encourage compliance with site speed limits.
Which Speed Sign Should You Choose?
Choose the 3-digit smiley/sad face sign if you want the largest amount of visual driver feedback, including the speed display and happy/sad face.
Choose the 12V 2-digit sign if you have a 12V power source or want the flexibility of connecting the sign to a professionally designed external solar or battery system.
Choose the 220V 2-digit sign if the sign is being installed at a fixed location where reliable mains power is available.
