Traffic Safety Programs
Residents who live in neighborhoods that are perceived to have a speeding problem are eligible to participate in the Traffic Safety Program. The program requires that at least two adults from the neighborhood attend a radar training session with a police officer. Upon completion of the program, residents are eligible to borrow radar equipment to use in their neighborhood. Speed watchers report the license plates of speeding vehicles to the Division of Police. A courtesy letter is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle.
The Traffic Safety Program also includes the use of an automated speed-monitoring trailer. This trailer is battery and solar panel powered and is able to monitor traffic patterns in a given neighborhood for several days at a time. The unit records the number of vehicles and the speed of each vehicle. This data is used to identify any traffic-related problems.

What a lovely way to keep the neighborhood asshat busy. They all belong on Hal Turner's suicide prevention list.
