(Transportation-News.com, July 01, 2013 ) Munich, Germany -- The Butte County Sheriff's department, this week, received its first self-contained radar speed sign. The sign was purchased with a grant the office obtained from the South Dakota Department of Public Safety. On hand for the placement ceremony were Deputy Gary Brunner and reserve deputies Jesse Strickland, John Gieb, Jayson Herra and Tristan Clements. The first placement ceremony took place just south of Nisland, on Whitewood Valley Road not long after it was delivered.
The signs have been proven effective in reminding people that they are speeding when they are not paying attention to their rate of travel. Deputy Brunner explained that the sign was attached to a "speed trailer" that can easily be moved to different locations. "The trailer will be moved to areas where we have speed issues," Brunner went on, "The idea of the speed board is to remind drivers of the speed limit. The sign flashes the speed, and if the vehicle is driving too fast, the sign flashes, 'Slow Down’.” This is just a friendly reminder and a warning to inattentive motorists -- at least at this point. This is not your everyday street sign.
The innovative “speed trailer” also comes equipped with an on board computer that keeps track of the average speed of the vehicles and the number of cars it scans. This information gives the officers the information they need to establish traffic patterns. They will then know the best time of day to be in the vicinity to enforce the speed limit.
