New Sydney road signs use low-power 'E-Ink' technology and can be remotely updated:
The NSW Government has tapped the same technology you use to read books on your Kindle to create low-energy street signs that can be remotely altered.
The electronic paper road signs, which have been installed across Sydney, are the result of a partnership between Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) and Slovenian technology firm Visionect.
[...] An RMS spokesperson told The Register that 15 of the new signs 'were successfully trialled in the management of traffic on George Street in the Sydney CBD and a second rollout has since been completed in the Moore Park area.'
