<p>You might think about whether they are intended for per-lane/lanegroup or whole-road info.</p>
<p>These things have already been modelled to death in DATEX II. There is some possible inspiration here: http://www.datex2.eu/sites/www.datex2.eu/files/sites/test.datex2.eu/files/DX_VMS_2009-06.pdf</p>
