Abstract Speeding is a major risk factor for accidents. Reminding the driver of the current speed limit might improve traffic safety. The impact of In-Vehicle Signage (IVS) for speed limits via Car2Infrastructure communication was investigated in a test field in Tampere (Finland). The test field results show that IVS has a positive influence on the speed of the drivers of the equipped vehicle. Different scenarios for the estimated penetration rates of equipped vehicles were set up to see the overall effects on the traffic efficiency by IVS. The effects on the traffic efficiency were simulated in SUMO. The simulation results show that no benefit in traffic efficiency for all traffic participants could be reached by IVS.
