Radarsign Debuts Second in Series of Updated Best Practices for Traffic Calming Solutions

ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Nov. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Research for up-to-date engineered traffic calming solutions just got easier for city planners, law enforcement officers and municipal leaders who rely on industry best practices to implement a plan to slow speeding drivers.  Current transportation industry reference documents have remained virtually unchanged for decades.  Radarsign®, the manufacturer of the world’s first armored driver feedback sign, has developed a series of 21st Century Traffic Calming Guides, outlining the latest insights about engineered solutions.

Part II of the guide produced by Radarsign analyzes the category of Horizontal Alterations (http://www.radarsign.com/21st-century-traffic-calming-guide-horizontal-alterations/): Chicanes, Roundabouts and Traffic Circles. Horizontal deflections, which change driver behavior through a change of path, are often implemented to discourage cut-through traffic.  In recent years though, Horizontal Alterations have seen an increase in use over Vertical Alterations like speed bumps.

“We are excited to be spearheading a larger effort to educate municipalities, traffic engineers, consultants, and law enforcement officers on all aspects of traffic calming,” said Charlie Robeson, Radarsign Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “This single, go-to resource makes it easy to evaluate all options.”

Part I: Vertical Alterations was released November 11 and can be found here (http://www.radarsign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/RSPar...).
