Introduction

In the quest to fortify school zone safety, the deployment of Radar Speed Signs (RSS), also known within the industry as Dynamic Speed Feedback Signs (DSFS) or Driver Feedback Signs (DFS), has been a pivotal strategy.

A case study by the University of Memphis found TraffiCalm's WWPS, with its high accuracy, responsiveness, and live-tracking, to be the most effective system in reducing wrong-way driving incidents, recommending it as the preferred solution.

Special Circumstances

One of the problems with static speed signs is that they can make no allowance for special circumstances. Variable speed signs on the other hand, have a distinct advantage.

Human behavior is intransient, people don’t change their behavior, even behavior they want to change, easily. It’s no different when it comes to driving behavior. Communities and police departments find speeding and traffic safety to be top concerns among residents.

Why Businesses Should be Protected

It is a nice feature of many business that they have campuses for the uses of both employees and customers.

Driver Reactions

Whenever we see a dynamic speed sign we tend to find ourselves slowing down, even if we were already traveling under the speed limit.

Community groups facing tough speeding challenges look for creative, cost effective solutions that make smart use of available funding.

When Increased Traffic Risks Are Apparent

When it comes to winter driving, slowing down traffic is crucial. Not just for the safety of others but also to protect yourself.

Conventional Stop Sign Drawbacks

It might strike some people that the obvious approach to dealing with aggressive drivers would be more stop signs. However, stop signs can simply aggravate the problem.

Common Speeding Areas

Some areas are much more common for speeding than others. Long stretches of highway tend to be an obvious choice for speeders, but so are places like large parking lots and garages. Even residential neighborhoods can become a target zone.

Airport Traffic - Differences

When it comes to monitoring traffic in airports, the difficulties are different from almost any other busy area. With large amounts of people coming in and out, some of whom are international visitors, the challenges faced become unique.

Vulnerable Pedestrians

One of the areas with the most vulnerable pedestrians is hospital parking lots. With patients coming in and out, many of them in states of extreme anguish and moving slowly, the the potential for accidents increases.

Staying Cautious

The police and local governments often do a good job of adding extra support to keep schools and parks carefully monitored. Any area where children are active must be watched and protected.

Any Need

Hotels are unique because they go through stages when they are busy and when they are inactive. During tourists seasons or when there is a conference in town, the hotels fill up quickly.

The Traffic Boom

Most people love public holidays because they associate them with good memories. But public holidays can be very difficult, especially for travelers.

Surviving Large Event Traffic

If you have ever been to a large party you know what the atmosphere is like: people moving in groups, laughing and talking, constant movement, crowds coming and going constantly...

Where To Start

It is always important to keep traffic carefully controlled in work zones and when it comes to speed signs, the best place to begin is right at the beginning.

Pedestrians’ risk of involvement in a vehicular accident rises as speed rises, and in the case of pedestrian’s hit by vehicles, the vehicle speed plays a key role in the severity of the injuries and survival rate.
