CLEARFIELD – In an effort to improve highway safety, PennDOT placed radar-controlled speed display signs at two locations in Clearfield County.
The first of the two signs faces southbound traffic on US Route 219 in Burnside Township. This area is posted with a speed limit of 40 miles per hour. The second sign displays speeds of westbound traffic on US Route 322 in Bradford Township. The speed limit in this area is 45 miles per hour.
The speed display signs will remain on location for up to three weeks and will register the speeds of vehicles traveling along those sections of roadway.
The speed display sign uses radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic. Those vehicle speeds are then posted on the lighted section of the sign. Above the speed display is a speed limit sign showing the posted speed limit for the section of roadway where the sign is placed.
PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions before heading out.
