A system and method for notifying drivers of an emergency condition along a highway includes mounting a plurality of speed control assemblies in a ground surface beneath the highway, each identifier including a geographic component. This method includes selectively moving a speedbump portion between retracted and raised configurations a predetermined distance above the highway. Alert data including an alert location may be communicated from a traffic control agency to the traffic control assemblies. Using the plurality of identifiers, this method includes identifying respective speed control assemblies that are located within a predetermined distance upstream of the alert location and incrementally actuating the identified speed control assemblies to the raised configurations, respectively. Each incrementally raised configuration causes an increased impact with an associated sound and vibrational sensation to an automobile traveling upon the highway upstream of the alert location.
