How It Works

How a Roadway Program Comes Together.

One permanent frame mounted to the vehicle, printed panels that change with each campaign, and a fleet review that establishes both.

The essential idea

The Hardware Stays. The Message Changes.

Roadway separates the permanent vehicle-mounted hardware from the campaign artwork that changes over time.

  1. Permanent frame

    The anodized-aluminum frame remains mounted to the vehicle between campaigns.

  2. Replaceable panel

    Only the lightweight printed campaign panel needs to be removed and replaced.

  3. Fleet-yard change

    Authorized personnel can rotate the displayed message where the vehicles are based.

From first review to recurring use

One Installation Supports an Ongoing Campaign Program.

Roadway helps establish the frame configuration, panel specifications, artwork, and installation approach. Once the system is in place, future campaigns become replacement-panel orders rather than new hardware projects.

Phase OneEstablish the system
  1. Review the fleet

    Roadway reviews vehicle types, available mounting areas, approximate quantity, and communication needs.

  2. Specify the configuration

    Recommended frame sizes, panel dimensions, quantities, and installation approach are documented.

  3. Develop and approve the artwork

    Provide approved creative or work with Roadway to prepare fleet-ready artwork. Nothing prints before the artwork is approved.

  4. Produce and install the system

    Frames and initial panels are produced, and the permanent hardware is installed using the agreed installation approach.

Phase TwoRotate future campaigns

Steps 5–6 repeat for every new message — no new hardware is purchased.

  1. Order replacement panels

    Roadway retains the established panel specifications to support future replacement-panel orders.

  2. Change the message at the yard

    Authorized fleet personnel remove the current panel, position the replacement panel, and return the display to service.

Repeats with each campaign change

A clear starting point

What Your Department Provides—and What Roadway Helps Determine.

You do not need every project detail finalized before starting a conversation. A preliminary fleet review can establish the appropriate next steps.

Your department provides

  • Vehicle and body types
  • Approximate number of vehicles
  • Desired display locations
  • Campaign objective
  • Existing artwork or brand requirements
  • Desired project timeframe

Roadway helps determine

  • Appropriate frame configuration
  • Frame and panel dimensions
  • Initial quantities
  • Artwork and proofing requirements
  • Installation approach
  • Replacement-panel specifications
  • Budgetary starting point

Exact fitment, mounting requirements, and project specifications are reviewed before quoting or installation.
