We were utterly shocked and disappointed by the recklessness of fellow motorists when reviewing the statistics from our latest Test Case for a NSW public school and council.
The Test Case involved the placement of our traffic counting and speed radar (Boylan TCRadar) for a period of three weeks, analyzing the effects on driver behaviour around a school zone, with and without a Boylan SpeedCheck trailer.
The TCRadar demonstrated that prior to the introduction of the SpeedCheck sign, 78% of motorists were speeding within the school-zone time periods of 8-9.30am & 2.30-4pm; That’s 3527 motorists out of 4526 in just one week at an average speed of 46kph. The highest recorded speed was 106kph in the school-zone, which we think you will agree is cause for concern.
The introduction of a Boylan SpeedCheck trailer saw the number of speeding incidence reduce by 30%. With the average speed reducing to 41.9kph. When the SpeedCheck was removed, a week later, the speeding incidence increased by over 20% demonstrating that motorists were returning to historic behavioural patterns.
We thank and applaud the Public School and Council for assisting this trial which has confirmed their concerns and furnished data to allow informed decision making for the benefit and safety of their students.
SpeedCheck is available as a permanent or trailer mounted package.
