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 a mounting 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.  A clear line-of-sight relatively free of obstructions such as large trees, fences or other 
landscape features is desired.  The radar unit is single-directional, so only the speed of 
oncoming vehicles is displayed. If solar powered, solar panel should be mounted on the 
South side of the pole and be clear of shade from trees and buildings. Any shade over the 
panel will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the charging system.
