Step 1: Collecting your data
Before you begin:
Can you identify if, where, and when speeding is happening?
Before you decide how to address speeding concerns, you need to determine if, where, and when cars are speeding on your roads.

Step 2: A layered approach to speed reduction
Single layer: Awareness
Research has shown that when drivers simply see their speed displayed, most of them will slow down and maintain safer speeds, even miles down the road.
Radar Speed Sign
Traffic Logix offers a vast range of awareness signs to slow cars and protect your streets. These include standard speed display signs, “slow down” driver responsive signs, interactive custom message signs, and variable message boards.
A well-known Japanese car manufacturer in India installed Traffic Logix SafePace signs at its manufacturing plants to address speeding concerns.
Ten radar signs were placed at the plant in Tapukara and Greater Noida for speed testing and traffic control, and to promote safer driving. The signs effectively slowed down motorists and discouraged overspeeding. They plan to expand the speed awareness program by adding more SafePace signs throughout the plant testing vehicles.
Does just one layer work?
What difference did we make nationwide in the last year?
Over 1,500 new radar speed signs were installed on local streets across Canada.
With more Traffic Logix radar speed signs installed, speeding problems on local streets have been mitigated.
By merging and scrutinizing this data, you can assess whether a single-layered awareness approach is sufficient to calm traffic on your roads.
Are Radar Signs always enough?
The City of Kolkata reduces rate of speed violations by over 28% with speed cameras and radar speed signs.

Step 2: Dual layer
Dual layer: Awareness + Enforcement
Speed cameras discreetly capture images from multiple lanes with pinpoint accuracy.
Radar Speed Sign and Speed Camera
Our awareness cameras can be legally used on any roads while our automated speed enforcement cameras offer end-to-end ticketing where automated speed enforcement is allowed.
One of India’s newest and busiest airports faced a challenge of over-speeding vehicles on its busiest roads.
To address this, they installed SafePace Evolution signs and Guardian speed cameras. The signs display real-time speeds to alert drivers, while the cameras capture over-speeding vehicles and issue challans.
Since implementation, driving behavior improved, making the airport safer for everyone. The airport plans to expand this solution to other areas due to its success and reliability.
