Speed Display Sign Placed in Genesee Township

GENESEE – Motorists traveling along Route 449 (Main Street) northbound in Genesee Township, Potter County, will be reminded of one of the most common types of aggressive driving behavior: speeding.

PennDOT placed a radar-controlled speed display sign along Route 449, just north of the intersection with Route 244 (Ellisburg Road). This area is posted with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour.

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 on Route 449 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.
