Osceola County Installs Speed Control Devices in Neighborhoods

Osceola County, Florida – Osceola County recently installed speed radar signs, also known as driver feedback signs, in the Indian Point community. The signs are traffic calming devices installed as part of a countywide effort to increase driver awareness and improve safety by slowing traffic throughout the county’s neighborhoods.

"Our goal is that these signs will remind drivers to slow down and exercise caution, both for their safety and the safety of the residents in Indian Point," said Commissioner Michael Harford.

In addition to the two signs at Indian Point, other solar powered signs have been permanently installed in the Buenaventura Lakes area and in Celebration, at a cost of approximately $4,700 each, which includes installation costs.

"The signs will not only make motorists aware of their speeds when driving through our neighborhoods, but can also provide data which can be used to monitor speeds and traffic counts on the roadways," said Harford. "This information could then be given to law enforcement to further discourage speeding."
