The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) ordered DC-Digital DC-150T-UP-DAYS outdoor count-up day timers for use at two Ohio highway locations as part of a driver awareness effort focused on reducing distracted driving. The large digital displays provide motorists with an immediate, highly visible way to recognize the number of consecutive days without a serious crash, reinforcing the importance of attentive and responsible driving.

The solar-powered roadside signs incorporate a 15-inch, four-digit red LED DC-150T-UP-DAYS timer capable of counting upward once every 24 hours. The display can track as many as 9,999 days, making it well suited for long-term safety campaigns where the number of successful days is continuously updated. By presenting the information in a large digital format, the timer can communicate the safety milestone quickly to drivers as they pass the installation.

ODOT uses the timers at two highway locations: eastbound Ohio Interstate 76 at Bailey Road and westbound Ohio Interstate 80 at State Route 190. Positioned for motorists to see while traveling through these areas, the displays serve as an ongoing visual reminder that avoiding distractions such as texting and other activities that take attention away from driving can contribute to safer roadways.

The DC-150T-UP-DAYS is designed specifically for outdoor applications where the display must remain visible and functional in demanding weather conditions. Its aluminum IP-66-rated enclosure provides protection for wet-location and outdoor installations, while the black powder-coated finish provides a durable exterior for long-term roadside use. The four 15-inch digits use sunlight-resistant red LEDs with a 110-degree by 40-degree viewing angle, allowing the displayed day count to remain clearly visible from as far as 750 feet.

The timer’s environmentally sealed momentary push-button controls are mounted on the side of the enclosure. These controls allow authorized personnel to increment, decrement, set, or reset the displayed count to zero. An optional RF wireless remote can also be used when remote operation is preferred.

Two aluminum C-channel mounting rails provide a secure method for installing the display in an appropriate roadside sign structure.

For ODOT’s highway safety initiative, the DC-150T-UP-DAYS provides more than a numerical display. Its continuously updated day count gives motorists a simple, highly visible safety message that can remain in place over an extended period. The combination of automatic 24-hour counting, large sunlight-resistant digits, weather-resistant construction, and multiple control functions makes the display suitable for highway safety campaigns, crash-free day programs, workplace safety milestones, and other applications where a continuously increasing number needs to be communicated outdoors.
