Follow on Google News | Radarsign™ Sales to Independent HOAs Rose by 82 Percent in 2010National Trend Gains Momentum: Number of HOAs Privately Funding Traffic-Calming Solutions Continues to Grow
“The trend began about 10 years ago in California,” “The trend is especially apparent in today’s economic climate,” Robeson continued. “When local governments can’t afford to implement solutions to make streets safe homeowners associations and community activists seek their own solution to slow speeding drivers. The solution that HOAs are turning to is Radarsign.” Radarsign was founded with neighborhood safety in mine; its founders live in neighborhoods where speed signs were often ignored, causing the areas to be unsafe at times. It wasn’t until they did some research that they learned just how unsafe their communities could be: A pedestrian hit by a car traveling 40 mph has an 85 percent chance of being killed. At 30 mph, those odds decrease to 55 percent. By contrast, the chance of a pedestrian being killed if hit by a car moving at 20 mph is only 15%. (Killing Speed and Saving Lives, UK Department of Transportation, 1987) A vehicle traveling 40 mph will still be going 36 mph when it hits a person who suddenly appears in the street 100 feet ahead of it; however, the average driver going 25 mph would be able to come to a full stop within 100 feet. (Killing Speed and Saving Lives, UK Department of Transportation, 1987) About Radarsign In 2004, Atlanta-based Radarsign™ established new industry standards for traffic-calming solutions with the debut of the world’s first armored driver feedback signs, which are vandal, weather and bullet-resistant. The industry’s most durable radar signs are also the most ecological.
