Proving Radar Speed Signs work

Several studies have examined radar speed signs’ impact on driver behavior in the short and long term. In 2002, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) undertook a four-month survey of seven sites where radar speed signs had been permanently installed, including a school zone, sharp horizonal curves, and approaches to signalized intersections. The findings indicated that radar speed signs reduced speeds by 9 mph in school zones within a week of installation, with this effect sustained for four months.
