Does this sound familiar?

Speeding complaints keep coming

Teams don't have the time or resources to respond promptly to every complaint.

No data to justify action

Speed can't always be judged from the curb. Without data you don't know whether speeding is real or perceived, or where your resources will be most effective.

Personnel can't cover every problem area

Most communities have more speeding hot spots than they do enforcement officers — leaving teams struggling to fill the gaps.

Common questions

Does traffic calming actually work?

Yes. Radar signs cut average speeds by about 10%, and the effect carries for miles. FHWA found speed humps, cushions and tables each cut 85th-percentile speeds by roughly 18–19%. Children living near traffic calming have 53–60% lower odds of injury.

How do I know which system to pick?

We always recommend starting with data collection to get a clear picture of what's happening on your roads. This can be done with covert data collectors or radar speed signs in stealth mode. Where speeding is moderate, activate the display on your radar speed signs and/or add rubber traffic calming (speed humps, cushions or tables). Move to enforcement (speed cameras) in locations where the most stubborn speeding issues remain. The most effective strategies take a multilayer approach — our experts can help you pick the right mix for your streets.

How do we find out whether speeding is really happening?

Run a speed study. A covert data collector, or a radar speed sign in stealth mode, records speeds and volumes for a week or two without changing driver behavior — so you have a baseline before you decide which countermeasures will be most effective.

Is the data included?

Every connected system reports to a cloud platform for speed and volume data, alerts and remote settings. (Access terms: TBD, see decision “Cloud access offer”.)

Can TAPCO help me form my speed reduction strategy?

Yes. We know that every community, and every street, faces unique traffic safety challenges. That's why we take a consultative approach — carefully talking through your concerns with you and helping you select the right-fit systems to achieve your goals.
