  This Dynamic Message Sign Message Design and Display Manual was written for use by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) personnel who have responsibility for the operation of and/or message design for large permanent dynamic message signs (DMSs) or portable DMSs. The Manual is designed to help both new and experienced users of DMSs at various levels of the agency including 1) entry-level personnel, 2) personnel very experienced with traffic operations, and 3) managers. It provides very specific information for entry-level personnel, reminders for experienced personnel, and higher-level information for managers regardless of whether they work in one of the Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) in the state.
