Improper driving speed or exceeding speed limits is the most important factor contributing to the increase in road traffic injuries that many countries face.

Managing speed involves concerted, long-term and comprehensive action. Measures to reduce speed limits like the speed indicator device are especially important in places where vehicle traffic most closely intersects with the most vulnerable road users – pedestrians and cyclists.

Road traffic accidents and injuries caused by speed

Speed ​​is a major risk factor for being involved in road traffic accidents and increasing the severity of injuries sustained in them. At high speed, the negative consequences of driver mistakes increase significantly.

Vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, moped and motorcycle riders have a high risk of suffering severe or fatal injury if they are struck by a vehicle, and this risk increases dramatically as speed increases. Research shows that when a car hits a pedestrian at a speed of 30 km/h, most pedestrians will suffer non-fatal injuries, and when a car hits a pedestrian at a speed of 50 km/h, the majority (up to 80%) will be killed. While occupants, if they wear seat belts and are in well-designed vehicles, can be protected at a maximum speed of 70 km/h for frontal impacts and at 50 km/h for most side impacts.

Many road safety experts believe that the single most important factor in road deaths worldwide is poor speed selection, which is usually interpreted as using an inappropriate vehicle speed, or “speeding”.

What is speed control?

Speed management involves a number of measures aimed at balancing the safety and efficient speed of vehicles on the road network. The purpose of speed management is to reduce the incidence of driving too fast and to maximize compliance with speed limits. Optimal speed in the context of the Safety System is a speed limit, the main purpose of which is traffic safety in conditions of mobility and existing traffic conditions, such as improvement of roadsides, heterogeneity of road users, frequency of access to the road (including intersections), intensity and heterogeneity of transport, environmental problems and quality of life of the population living along the road.

How can you get drivers to slow down on roads in your area?

Everything is very simple. There is a speed indicator device that encourages drivers to drive carefully while in a given area. This is a board similar to a sign, the screen of which displays the driver’s speed. As the limit is violated, a warning is displayed indicating the required speed. The numbers on the sign are very bright, their color changes depending on the speed, and it is very difficult to miss or scan the screen.

Its effectiveness has been proven: after installing this device, the likelihood of a violation is reduced by 25 percent!

The installation is simple, you don’t need to have any special skills to place this sign by the road, turning it on and monitoring its operation is also not difficult. This sign works via Bluetooth, USB or 3G/4G remote.

There is no need to worry about the safety of the device, because it has anti-vandal and anti-corrosion characteristics, just so it can stand for a long time and reliably, despite any weather conditions.
