Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board today on Route 144 in Centre Hall Borough, 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 southbound traffic between Spruce Alley and West Potter Street. It utilizes radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign.
The speed limit through this section of Route 144 is 35 miles per hour.
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.
