let's continue to avoid abbreviations. "pcms" is cryptic to
me and likely to many others too. <br></div><div

"variable-message sign" (IMHO sounds slightly nicer, leads to a
shorter value and includes "non-programmable" signs:
traffic_sign=variable-message_sign, even if the hyphen-underscore mix might
lead to minor tagging inconsistencies). <a
