Slow Traffic Down In your Neighborhood info article by RadarSign
Residential speeding is the most common citizen complaint issued to police departments and city council representatives throughout the United States. Neighborhood speeding creates a danger to pedestrians, to bicyclists and especially to children.
The fatality rate in residential zones due to car accidents is nearly 3 times the rate on highways. Studies have proven that slowing traffic down will greatly reduce the chances of a fatal accident involving pedestrians and automobiles. A small change in speeds has a dramatic effect on whether those involved live or die.
The speed limit in most neighborhoods is 25 mph.
- At only 20 mph, 15% of pedestrians struck by an automobile will die of their injuries.
- At 30 mph 55% will die.
- At 40 mph, 85% will die.
Why do driver feedback signs work?
Most speeders in your neighborhood live in the neighborhood. Very often drivers are speeding without even realizing it. We have all done it. We are driving along thinking about what we have to do, where we are supposed to be, who we need to call, often never realizing that we are exceeding the speed limit. The driver feedback sign shifts the brain out of the alpha state where the brain is aware but relaxed into the beta state where the brain is alert and focused. As a result the driver responds to the flashing speed alert and slows down.

It's hard to imagine how many feet you travel in a vehicle at different speeds. Consider that in many subdivisions a lot size is generally around 100 feet long on the street. Now look how quickly you move down a neighborhood street even at slow speeds:
A vehicle traveling 40 MPH will still be going 36 MPH when it hits a person who suddenly appears in the street 100 feet ahead of it. The average driver going 25 MPH would be able to come to a full stop within 100 feet!1
Neighborhood speeding and unsafe traffic speeds put you and your family in danger. Radarsign offers a variety of radar speed signs to provide residential traffic calming, as well as neighborhood speeding and traffic management.
What can be done about reducing driving speeds in your neighborhood?
Radarsign’s driver feedback signs offer a great neighborhood traffic calming solution because they give drivers notice that they are speeding. Tests repeatedly show that speeders WILL slow down up to 80% of the time when alerted by a driver feedback sign. Typical average speed reductions are 10-20%, and overall compliance with the posted speed limit will go up by 30-60%.
An additional benefit is that our driver feedback signs can collect speed data on up to 500,000 vehicles providing you with a tool for neighborhood traffic management. Data can then be analyzed using StreetSmart, our traffic statistics software, allowing you to:
-
Pinpoint consistent speeding times during the day, providing law enforcement the best information about when to patrol
-
Provide a baseline of the actual speeding problem when traffic speed data is collected with the LED display off and compared with data captured with the LED display on
-
When compared to the 'DISPLAY OFF' speed statistics, StreetSmart proves the traffic calming effect of the sign in slowing drivers
-
Monitor the traffic calming effectiveness of the driver feedback sign on an ongoing basis
