Preventing Trouble Before It Starts: How MVIS Supports Safer Roads and Events

When it comes to great service, delivering on promises, and always showing up—both metaphorically and literally—MVIS stands out. With years at the top of our industry, we’ve proudly supported clients across the UK, and now our trusted VMS (Variable Message Signs) are making an impact in Ireland too.

We’re fortunate to have a loyal client base that doesn’t just rely on us—they champion our work. Time and time again, our clients turn to MVIS for dependable, high-quality service. Why? Because we help make their sites safer, smoother, and more efficient. More importantly, we help ensure people get home safely.

Why Our Work Matters

At MVIS, safety isn’t just a feature of what we do—it’s the reason we do it. From major infrastructure projects to community festivals, our signs help prevent incidents by informing, guiding, and preparing the public. Whether it’s a cost-effective VMS unit or a Solar IP, our products are often the first step in making a location safer.

Here are just a few examples of how we’ve made a difference:

Darren Thrupp – Traffic & Network Coordination Manager

“We are using the units to support partners’ network operations and alert customers out on the network of any disruption. Thanks to MVIS and their continued customer support, we can carry on doing so.”

This is exactly what our products are designed for: alerting road users to potential disruption. Why is this so important? Because early warnings allow people to plan alternate routes, reducing the risk of frustration that can lead to abuse or unsafe behaviour toward roadworkers.

As proud advocates of the Stamp It Out campaign, we’re committed to reducing roadworker abuse. And this commitment goes beyond construction sites.

Charlesworth and Chisworth Carnival Committee

“Thank you to MVIS for supplying these fabulous signs. An absolute dream of a company to work with—everything was so simple and easy. It made the parade team’s job much easier.”

When this local parade approached us, they were facing unacceptable levels of staff abuse. By deploying signage well in advance, we helped prevent incidents, reinforcing our “Don’t Wait for Trouble – Prevent It” initiative. It’s not just about preventing accidents—it’s about stopping unacceptable behaviour before it starts.

The Pride in Belper Team

“Without a doubt, the VMS ensured that the all-important Strutt around the town was an absolute highlight for the town this year. It was a joyful event with very little drama on the roads because people knew what was happening and engaged with the signage before the day.
So, thank you, MVIS Ltd, for sponsoring us in this way, and helping to ensure that Pride in Belper was such an important, emotional and successful day for 11,000 people. You made such a difference, and we love you for it.”

Another shining example of how clear, early communication with road users can reduce confusion, stress, and road-related incidents—while helping communities celebrate safely.
