Usually these signs are on interstates in the middle of nowhere (e.g. mountain/forest/desert). It's not unusual not to have a signal.

And frankly, even if you did have a signal, it's not likely Waze will be of much help. There are often few travelers on that road, and chances are none of them is using Waze.

How do the signs get the updates? Could be satellite but it’s probably 3G/LTE unless someone is manually setting it, but then it’s probably made it’s way into Waze when it was last online.
