Radar Message Boards
In Richmond Hill, radar message boards are used to increase road and safety awareness of drivers in the community.
| What are radar message boards? |
|
The radar on the radar message board is aimed at oncoming traffic and records the speed of the vehicle, displaying it on the board so drivers can see how fast they are travelling and if they are travelling over the speed limit. This will hopefully encourage them to slow down, making streets safer for pedestrians and residents in the area. |
