These signs are very very common in Japan. they are usually on the tollway for
every 10 minutes of driving. They're constantly updated with either accident,
weather, or road conditions.

This one is currently warning of traffic ahead.
Here is a picture we can use for the wiki (if you want). I’ll upload it to the
wiki if it is desired.
This is a common warning sign in front of many longer tunnels, and is changed
to show tunnel specific or very local weather conditions, in this case, snow
(ユキ yuki ).

There are other “static” signs that display variable information, though it is
not a matrix sign. This is one built to show traffic backups on the very narrow
and crowded downtown network in Tokyo.

There are also several of the older matrix signs in San Diego showing Amber
Alert information, road delays, and other text (they are black & white, not
like the 3 color ones in Japan).
So for a person who drives a lot, these signs are not rare, but fairly common
to see every day.
