Request Speed Display Board and Traffic Calming Device
Traffic calming measures are implemented to address issues with speeding, excessive traffic volumes, and neighbourhood safety. While methods may vary, all traffic calming measures help to improve the safety and quality of life for residents by reducing the speed and volume of traffic.
Speed display boards are pole-mounted devices equipped with radar speed detectors and an LED display. The boards are capable of detecting the approaching speed of a vehicle and displaying it back to the driver.
When combined with a regulatory speed limit sign, a clear message is sent to the driver that they may be travelling too fast. The objective of the program is to improve road safety by making drivers aware of their speed.
