School Zones: The risks of Speeding for the Community

School zones are high-risk areas for trafic safety, especially vulnerable to speeding. Children, often unpredictable in their movements, require heightened driver awareness and reduced vehicle speeds to stay safe. However, despite traditional school zone signage and posted speed limits, many drivers underestimate the need to slow down. This puts students, parents, and school staff at unnecessary risk.

Easy to install and powered by solar or electric energy, these signs detect oncoming vehicle speeds and display clear messages, encouraging drivers to reduce their speed.
