INSTALLATION
5.1 HOW BEST TO LOCATE YOUR RADAR SPEED SIGN
For optimal performance, select the radar's location according to the following criteria:
Choose a straight section road with at least 400ft of unobstructed vision.
This area and the radar beam should be free of any objects (trees, poles, parked
vehicles, other road signs…) as they may disturb the radar's beam.
Do not install radars at cross-roads, round-abouts or on bridges : vehicles arriving from
a sideways direction can have a confusing influence upon the radar sign's display and
the traffic data it captures.
Verify that the radar sign does not block the visibility of existing road signs.
Ensure that the bottom edge of the radar sign is no lower than 8ft and no higher than
16ft from ground level. (too low and there is a risk of collision with pedestrians)
To avoid accidental collision, ensure that you leave a gap of at least 3ft between the
radar screen and the road. We recommend a gap of between 3ft and 9ft.
The display screen should be positioned so that it points in a direction that is parallel
to the direction of the road. For example, if the screen is at the maximum distance of
9ft from the road, it should be positioned so as to point at an imaginary line that runs
parallel to the road at a distance of 9ft.
The sign must be installed straight (at 90°), unless there is a steep gradient (+/- 5°). In
this case, the sign should as far as is possible, be angled so that is matches the
gradient (using a wedge).
If you wish to install your Evolis on a gradient that exceeds 5%, please contact us.
