Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board yesterday on Route 3014 (South Atherton Street) in College Township, Centre County. It will remind drivers to obey the posted speed limit and aid in curbing speeding, a common type of aggressive driving behavior.
The board faces westbound traffic between Rolling Ridge Drive and West Branch Road. The board utilizes radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign.
The speed limit on this section of South Atherton Street is 35 miles per hour. The board will remain in this location for roughly 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 54 percent of crashes in Centre County in 2022.
