Lightcast Introduces Affordable Radar Speed Signs for Speed Control in New Areas -- June 5th, 2008 – Lightcast Networks announces new models of radar speed boards designed to slow speeders in construction zones, schools zones, church zones, neighborhoods, military bases, airport parking lots and even factories with special forklift safety considerations.
Lightcast’s radar speed monitors may not eliminate speed bumps altogether, but they will provide a viable alternative. One speed monitor comes as a compact portable sign on a stand that fits in most car trunks and weighs only 35 pounds. It can be directly powered or run on a supplied rechargeable battery. The pole mounted speed board can be directly wired for power and are available with solar panels.
Edward Baker, CEO of Lightcast’s RadarSpeedSigns.com , explains that portability and low cost are key in these new markets. “New market segments can now afford and install these speed control signs to slow violators and even monitor traffic patterns. The signs have patented flashing red LEDs displaying a speeder’s speed and constant green LEDs while driving at or under the speed limit. It’s very visible, and statistics show that 80% of speeders will slow down when they see a radar sign. These speed displays also have an onboard counter which generates statistics including average speed, highest speed, number of violators and even traffic counts.”
“Traffic calming devices are nothing new, but when we saw current $15,000 radar trailers needing a truck to haul them around, we knew there had to be better ways,” explained Mr. Baker. “Neighborhood associations around the country and even abroad are purchasing these signs to enhance safety.” According to Mr. Baker, with prices in the $2,200 to $3,200 range our radar speed displays will be seen on many city, county and state roads and highways as well.
