Town of Phelps Speed Limit Radar Program
Town of Phelps Speed Limit Radar Program
If you are interested in having the Town of Phelps place a speed limit radar sign in front of your house, please continue reading:
1) This is not an enforcement activity. The signs will not enforce speeding tickets to be issued. We will share with local law enforcement any patterns that are discovered.
2) This is a monitoring system, allowing the Town to use the data to potentially submit a request to the County/State to lower the speed limit, and to understand the existing traffic patterns.
3) The signs will be in place for 7-10 days, then moved to new areas.
4) At this time, this is only for Town-controlled roads. County Roads will need a permit which we would apply for at the County level, and the sign are not to be used on the State Roads, i.e. Routes 14, 88, 96 and 488.
5) Every area is different, these signs run only on solar power. It will not be possible to place a sign in a heavily shaded area.
Please fill out the radar sign placement application if you would like to have the Town evaluate your area for use. You can find the form here or on on our website under Marriage License Info and Town Forms. Scroll down the page to access the form.
