LOCATION SELECTION
In order to optimize your traffic calming results, there are a few simple things to keep in
mind and simple steps to follow. You’ll want to position the sign in location that’s on a
relatively flat stretch of road and is not too close to any stop signs, intersections, or
sharp curves in the road. Also, a clear line-of-sight relatively free of obstructions such as
large trees, fences or other landscape features is most desirable. Keep in mind that the
radar unit you’ve purchased is approach only (single-directional), so only the speed of
oncoming vehicles is displayed.

SETTING UP FOR USE
Park the dolly at final resting place, power it up, implement your anti-theft measures,
aim and go.
4.
ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
We recommend a few ways to keep your dolly secure:
1. Run a locking cable thru one or both of your wheels and around the
frame.
2. Chain or cable-lock the sign to a nearby pole or other fixed landscape
feature.

FINAL POSITIONING / FINE TUNING
See
Figures 5a
and
5b
for some basic dolly positioning tips. Keep in mind that the 12” tall
characters are readable to 750 feet. If the radar unit is picking up vehicles too far away,
simply rotate the sign clockwise so that it’s facing the opposite curb a bit more. Likewise,
if the unit is picking vehicles up too close or not far away enough, rotate counter-
clockwise. Practice with as many vehicles as necessary until desired results are achieved.
Remember, you may adjust the radar gun angle (aim) in the
FAST 500/525
as well as the
angle of the dolly for maximum fine-tuning. See
figure5b
