2022 Speed Radar Program

Every year the City and Neighborhood Associations work together to encourage drivers to follow the speed limit through the Speed Radar Program.

Radar signs provide feedback to drivers by showing the speed they are driving as they approach the sign. The signs notify speeders to slow down and affirm attentive drivers are obeying the speed limit. In addition the radars collect volume and speed data.

The City has six moveable speed radars to distribute throughout the Neighborhood Associations this year. Due to the high demand for placement in the neighborhoods, we ask community members to contact their NA with requests so that they can prioritize and submit three locations to the City.

We suggest the street locations you select should be more than three blocks long, connect other streets in the neighborhood, and have multiple speeding complaints. Signs can only go where there is an existing speed sign post or space in the shoulder.

The radars operate from May through October each year and are typically left up for three weeks. Requests should be sent to Ty Combs starting Friday, April 15 through Monday, May 16 to get your NA on the schedule. First come, first schedule!
