STATE COLLEGE – Drivers on Route 64 (Nittany Valley Drive) in Centre County will be reminded after today to obey the posted speed limit. PennDOT will place a radar-controlled speed display sign along southbound Route 64 in the village of Zion in Walker Township.
The sign faces southbound traffic and reminds drivers of the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit along this section of highway. The sign was placed at the request of State Senator Corman and will remain in place for about three weeks, dependent on weather.
The speed display sign uses radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic. Vehicle speeds are then posted on the lighted section of the sign.
Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the leading causes of crashes and fatalities in Pennsylvania. Other aggressive driving behaviors include running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally and tailgating.
Aggressive driving behaviors were listed as a crash cause in nearly 52 percent of Centre County crashes in 2013.
