Radar Speed Sign

Want more information on speed signs for sale? Feel free to contact us.

Radar speed signs use radar to detect and display the speed of passing motorists. These signs are normally placed on arterial streets with chronic speeding issues.

Radar speed signs can also be temporarily displayed via a trailer. A radar speed trailer is normally deployed for a few days to remind drivers to travel the speed limit.

How does SDOT consider where to install a radar speed sign?

• If 15% of people drive five miles per hour or more over the speed limit a radar speed sign may be considered.
• While the sign is in place, we might be working on more permanent design strategies.
• In other places, such as at construction sites or around schools, we might deploy a radar speed trailer to remind drivers to follow the speed limit.
