Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board on Route 144 in Boggs Township, Centre County, this week. It is intended to remind drivers to obey the posted speed limit and reduce speeding, a common type of aggressive driving behavior.
The board faces southbound traffic between Governor’s Road and Doe Ridge Lane, approximately four and one quarter miles South of Snow Shoe Borough, on a section of Route 144 with a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour. The board utilizes radar to determine the speed of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign.
The board will remain in this location for four to six weeks.
Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the leading causes of Pennsylvania crashes and fatalities. Other aggressive driving behaviors include running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally, and tailgating.
PennDOT listed aggressive driving behaviors as a factor in 61 percent of crashes in Centre County in 2025.
