They're programmed for preset responses, some of them don't even have "Fog". 
 
A firmware upgrade a while back added "Fog" and the new legend for the old 
all clear symbol (they now say "End"). 
 
I still think they could do with an abbreviation for "The traffic is 
stationary 3 miles ahead and you should leave at the next exit" but I'm not 
sure what the abbrev would be... 
 
"FO3M"       ? 
 
The signs are too simple for todays needs; if it were a real matrix sign they 
could flash something meaningful up, you're a bit limited by the 24x24 or 
whatever they are..
