The main focus of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the newly introduced variable message signs (VMSs), at the main axes leading to the capital Beirut and its suburbs, on road safety matters. The signs were installed by the Traffic Management Centre to give traffic safety guidance to citizens and raise awareness about the importance of the new traffic law, the use of seat-belts, speed limit abidingness, as well as provide information about road and traffic conditions. So far, sixty-five cameras monitor the roads in the greater Beirut area. Funding for the screens came from a grant by the EU, upon a request from the Traffic Management Authority.
