Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board this week on Route 6 in Hamilton Township, McKean County. 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 eastbound traffic between Lincoln Avenue and Hillside Avenue on a section of Route 6 with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour. The board utilizes radar to determine the speeds 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 46 percent of crashes in McKean County in 2025.
