1. A method of vehicle traffic control using a central processing system connected to a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
receiving a first dataset at the central processing system from a mobile wireless device upon the mobile wireless device entering a pre-defined geographic area at a vehicle inspection site, the mobile wireless device being carried by a vehicle and the first dataset including vehicle-related information and location data obtained by monitoring a location of the mobile wireless device;
based on information in the first dataset, automatically activating an application that causes the central processing system to compare at least a portion of the first dataset with a second dataset from a third party provider, the second dataset including rule-based data, including safety data, related to movement of vehicles along roads;
based on the comparison, generating a signal for controlling movement of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle inspection site; and
sending the signal to the mobile wireless device, the signal causing, on the mobile wireless device, a display of text within a visual representation of a virtual highway guide sign that is not otherwise physically present, instructing the vehicle whether to bypass the vehicle inspection site or not,
wherein sending the signal to the mobile wireless device depends on an operating state of the central processing system, the central processing system operating freely without subscription in a state of operation in which some functionality of the central processing system in a fully operating state is disabled, the disabled functionality including the signal for controlling movement of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle inspection site that would be sent to the mobile wireless device based on the comparison if the central processing system were in the fully operating state.
