• Abstract:
  Radar speed signs have seen increased application in recent years in communities across the United States. These devices, which measure (by radar) and display the speed of vehicles passing by, are typically mobile (trailer-based) units or are permanent pole/post-mounted digital display boards. Smaller portable pole/post-mounted displays intended for brief deployments have also recently become available. Such devices are used to reduce traffic speeds by making drivers aware of how fast they are moving relative to the speed limit and inducing them to adjust their speed accordingly
