VICA portals
What is VICA?
VICA portals, also known as traffic support structures (TSS), are placed over state, provincial and municipal roads to attach blue signage signs and traffic signalling devices onto them. AGMI’s VICA portals have a flexible size, this ensures that they always fit. Because the traffic portals are made out of aluminium, the oxidation process ensures natural protection. Painting or coating is unnecessary and is, therefore, also better for the environment. Our aluminium VICA portals are Cradle to Cradle certified.
