Radarsign® Reduced Total Number of Speeders in Stone Mountain Park from 70% of Drivers
to 23%
Alpharetta, GA August 20, 2009 -- Radarsign, LLC, one of the country's leading manufacturers
and retailers of driver feedback signs, today announced three signs installed around
Stone Mountain Park have successfully and consistently slowed. The Radarsign speed
signs initially detected seventy percent of park visitors were speeding and quickly
brought that total number down to only twenty-three percent of drivers.
"Radarsign® has been very effective in reducing the speed of vehicles within the
Park, creating a safer environment for our visitors" said Stone Mountain Park's
Chief of Police and Fire, Chuck Kelley. "Drivers enter the park from the interstate
and for years, they'd continue at the same highway speed, despite the thousands
of bikers, joggers and families walking near the roads. I used to have to post a
police officer at each entrance in order to slow traffic. Now, Radarsign speed signs
do the job for me. They are working 24/7, freeing up my officers to help the park's
visitors. We couldn't be more pleased. You can actually see the speed reduction
as drivers approach the signs."
Speeding kills 1,000 Americans every month and the force of impact in a collision
doubles with every 10 mph. Radarsign® traffic calming solutions bring drivers' attention
back to the road, and the posted speed limit, slowing them to safer speeds.
Three signs have been installed on the major roadways inside the park, which are
travelled by millions of visitors annually. The first sign was installed in 2007,
the second a year later and the third this year.
"Everyone within the Stone Mountain Park organization works very hard to ensure
visitors have a fun and safe time while enjoying the everything the Park has to
offer," said Charlie Robeson, Director of Sales and Marketing for Radarsign®. "We're
happy to help keep the roads safe from reckless drivers so visitors and Park employees
can focus their time and attention on fun - not wrecks."
