Radar-based signs coming to Richmond gateway corridors
VENN
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- The Richmond Department of Transportation (DOT) has started construction on 15 permanent speed feedback signs along key gateway entrances into the city in an effort to reduce speeding.
These installations are part of the city's ongoing Vision Zero commitment to help eliminate traffic fatalities and promote safe transportation methods.
The signs utilize radar detection technology to measure the speed of approaching vehicles while displaying it next to the posted speed limit. If the driver is traveling above the limit, the display will flash to tell the driver to slow down
Locations for the new signs can be viewed below:
