Business Traffic Calming:
Make your Work Site Safer with Radar Speed Signs
Corporate campuses and plant sites have a lot of daily pedestrian activity. As a result, businesses find that radar signs placed on high traffic roads around the campus or plant site make the roads safer.

Studies have proven that slowing traffic down will greatly reduce the chances of a fatal accident involving pedestrians and automobiles. A small change in speeds has a dramatic effect.

- Customer purchased a second sign for another location on their campus

Permanent and Mobile Solutions
Radarsign has permanent as well as mobile solutions to serve your traffic calming needs. Our A/C and solar powered radar speed signs are both excellent choices if the sign will be in a permanent location. If a temporary location or multiple locations within an area are needed, Radarsign offers three mobility options:
- Relocating the radar speed sign between existing pole locations using our locking pole mount system. This option is ideal where multiple locations within an area are desired or in locations that are not safe for radar speed trailers.
- Mobile Patrol Stand: The Mobile Patrol stand, which supports either the battery powered or solar powered radar speed sign, is an excellent choice if the sign needs to be moved around and there is no existing pole to use with the sign.
- Radar on the GO trailer hitch mount offers the most portable option. Radar on the GO can easily be set up at strategically identified locations to reduce speeders and calm traffic.
Sign Operation and Management
All Radarsign models are equipped with Bluetooth™ as a standard feature for the operation and management of your radar signs.
- Connect directly to a Windows laptop or Netbook
- No need to open the radar sign to retrieve data card
- Operates up to 30 feet away from the radar sign
- Downloads daily traffic records in about 15 seconds
StreetSmart Software (Optional)
StreetSmart traffic statistics software uses data gathered from the radar signs to report, organize and analyze speed and traffic statistics.
StreetSmart allows corporate campuses and plant sites to:
- Identify patterns of speeding during the day, providing law enforcement the best information about when to patrol
- Provide a baseline of the actual speeding problem when traffic speed data is collected with the LED display off compared with data captured with the LED display on
- Monitor the traffic calming effectiveness of the radar sign on an ongoing basis
