Neighborhood Traffic Calming Applications and Solutions

“The difference is drastic. They are no longer speeding like they used to. Before installation, we were seeing 3-4 tickets per month with average ticketed speeds of over 42.5 MPH. After installation, we’ve seen only 3 tickets in last 5 months. Now 90% of drivers are driving below 33 MPH…If the industry experts were all saying Radarsign was the best choice, that was enough for me.”
– Joseph Karr, Wedgewood HOA – Columbus (OH), October 2013

Speeding in residential areas and neighborhoods is the most common citizen complaint issued to police departments and city council representatives throughout the United States and is a danger to pedestrians, bicyclists and especially to children. The fatality rate in residential zones due to car accidents is nearly 3 times the rate on highways.
