A vehicle proximity alert system including a plurality of field transmitters, a notification unit and a housing unit. Each field transmitter is located externally from the vehicle and broadcasts an encoded signal including identification information for determining an imminent corresponding road hazard or road warning. The notification unit includes an antenna for receiving the encoded signal, a receiver for decoding the encoded signal and determining the imminent corresponding road hazard or road warning associated with the encoded signal, an internal transmitter for broadcasting an encoded signal requesting assistance for the vehicle and a vehicle interface unit for communicating the corresponding road hazard or road warning to the operator of the vehicle. The housing unit encloses the notification unit. The housing unit includes a solar panel for providing power to the notification unit, and one or more apertures for mounting the housing unit on a fixed structure.
