<p>I think we have divide this into two points:</p>
<p>1) how do we map the position "overhead"? I found location=overhead is used ~ 2500 times.</p>
<p>2) I guess we all associate the "electronic display" with something similar to a computer monitor,</p>
<p>which is programmable, but if I got that right, there are also less "flexible" traffic_signs which can</p>
<p>only show a limited number of different sysmbols by flipping small coloured elements, still that are
<br>
</p>
<p>probably controlled by electronic components.<br>
</p>
<p>I guess we don't care much about this difference.</p>
<p>The interesting part is that the information on the sign can change,</p>
<p>so I think <br>
</p>
<p>traffic_sign=changing <br>
</p>
<p>or <br>
</p>
<p>traffic_sign=variable <br>
</p>
<p>are both okay, don't know which one is less confusing.</p>
