CLEARFIELD – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board this week on Route 2030 (Main Street) in Woodland, Clearfield County. It is intended to remind drivers to obey the posted speed limit and reduce speeding, a common type of aggressive driving behavior.
This board faces eastbound traffic between Route 322 and Shiloh Road in Bradford Township in a 25 mile per hour zone. The board utilizes radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign. The board will remain in place for four to six weeks.
Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the leading causes of Pennsylvania crashes and fatalities. Other aggressive driving behaviors include running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally, and tailgating.
PennDOT listed aggressive driving behaviors as a factor in over 50 percent of crashes in Clearfield County in 2023.
