A good deal of data is available about pedestrian survival rates after being struck by a moving auto, and traffic calming in construction zones, school zones and built up areas. One area that is often neglected is the rural roadway. While the threat to pedestrians is patently either a lot less or nonexistent in many cases, the risk to drivers is really increased.
The standard signs like speed limits, recommended speed limits for curves and signs warning of snaking roads or animal crossings are mandatory on rural roads, even though they're doubtlessly ignored at times by some drivers. This is particularly true for drivers who regularly travel the same route. This often increases the rate and lowers the speed awareness over the course of time just as any task one does again and again becomes a subconscious, by-rote activity rather than one that is actively engaging.
A radar speed sign in an appropriate place along a long road can bring drivers' awareness to their speed in relation to the limit and slow traffic down.
More areas today use technolog y to help control traffic. Employing a radar speed sign is using technology in the ultimate way. As the signs can be electrical, battery-operated or solar-powered, you could choose to install one permanently or use the same sign in different locations at various times, as needed. The signs can be accessed remotely with the wireless Bluetooth connection, with programming that can be changed on an improvised basis. They can also be used to gather speed info to help you determine where the signs are most needed.
Among both rural and urban roads, nearly 2/3 of the speeding-related deaths are on rural roads. This is going to be partly to thinner traffic that will mean an accident can occur a long time before it's discovered, and then medical help may be far away. But the terrain of the roads, regularly with many hills and curves, also contribute. Roll-overs and running off the road are more often found on rural roads than urban ones.
