Speed Display Sign on Olean Road

Motorists in Foster Township will be reminded to obey the posted speed limit as they travel on Route 646 (Olean Road) in Derrick City.

PennDOT recently placed a radar-controlled speed display sign in this area to aid in curbing a common type of aggressive driving.

The speed display sign uses radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic in the southbound lane. Vehicle speeds are then posted on the lighted section of the sign. The posted speed limit in this area of Route 646 is 45 miles per hour.

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

Aggressive driving behaviors were listed as a crash cause in more than 48 percent of McKean County crashes in 2012.
