Speed Display Sign Near Ormsby

Ormsby – Motorists traveling along Route 59 in Keating Township, McKean County, near the village of Ormsby will be reminded of one of the most common types of aggressive driving behavior: speeding.

PennDOT recently placed a radar-controlled speed display sign in a 55-mile-per-hour zone along westbound Route 59 at the request of Keating Township. The speed display sign uses radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic. Vehicle speeds are then posted on the lighted section of the sign.

The speed display sign will remain on location for up to four weeks.

Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the leading causes of crashes and fatalities in Pennsylvania. Other aggressive driving behaviors include running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally and tailgating.
