Traffic Set-Up Examples
35 mph neighborhood speed limit
Set the “MS” (the radar detected Minimum Speed limit) at 5 mph, the
“SLOW” message at 35, “Flashing Speed” at 40mph, the “Red & Blues” at
50 and the Blanking Speed at 60. This is what will happen:
Oncoming
vehicles speeds will be shown on the sign traveling from 5 to 34 MPH. If the
vehicle is traveling 35 to 39, the SLOW message will flash. Between 41 and
49, their speed will be displayed while flashing. Over 50MPH, the display
will show the Red & Blue flashing lights pattern. At 60 and above, the
display is blank. As the vehicle slows, the appropriate “Violator Alert” will
show for their speed until they reach 34 MPH where their speed is displayed
normally.
School Zones
Set the “MS” (the radar detected Minimum Speed limit) at 15 mph (so drivers
in a school zone obeying the speed limit are not distracted), the “Flashing
Speed” at 16mph and the “Blanking Speed” for 40mph. This is what will
happen: For speeds under 15 MPH, no speed will be displayed. The display
will flash the speed for vehicles traveling between 16 and 39 MPH. No speed
will be displayed above 40 MPH.
9. RESULTS
The readings from the radar unit are filtered. The radar unit is very sensitive, so for
continuity of the oncoming driver, not every reading may be displayed. If there is a
difference between vehicle speeds of more than 3 miles per hour per second (extreme
