Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board on Route 26 in Howard 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 northbound traffic between Hillcrest and Mill streets on the bridge with a posted speed limit of 25 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 rmain 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.
