SpeedNabber™ for Rural Roadways

In rural areas there often arises a need to calm traffic at certain key intersections and other traffic entry and exit points. The purpose of traffic calming is to make these rural areas safer, more livable, and more enjoyable. Reducing the speed and volume of traffic to acceptable levels helps to achieve these goals. Traffic calming reduces accidents, collisions, noise, vibration, pollution, and crime. In recent years traffic calming has become more popular in North America. Speed display systems have become commonplace in many locations.

The most basic version of SpeedNabber provides for highly accurate radar speed detection and speed display in a very portable package. The system is battery powered and can be easily relocated. In many cases this will provide for significant traffic calming. However in certain situations the addition of license plate capture provides significantly more incentive to the vehicle operator to reduce speed. Enforcement may take the form of a gentle reminder to the gated resident community up to and including the issuance of speed violation tickets to offending vehicles.
