Radar Love

Thursday, February 2, 2017

Banner Graphic/Eric Bernsee Joining several similar devices around the city, a new driver feedback sign recently appeared on eastbound Shadowlawn Avenue east of Redbud Lane. Located immediately west of a school crosswalk and less than a block from the entrance to Deer Meadow Primary School, the device not only gives drivers a friendly reminder that they are in a school zone, but the LED lights tell them exactly how fast they are traveling. During a 15-minute period on Wednesday afternoon, drivers were clocked at speeds as low as a safe and law-abiding 18 mph and as high as 51 mph. Equipped with a radar gun, the sign runs entirely on power provided by the attached solar panel.

The City needs to install a couple of these on Albin Pond Road, sometimes it seems like a highway instead of a city street.
