Traffic Calming for Homeowner Associations

One of the biggest problems that face Homeowner’s Associations is keeping neighborhood streets safe. 21% of fatal accidents involving children struck by vehicles happen on urban and neighborhood roads.

So how can a Homeowner’s Association protect residents and children from unsafe drivers and the noise and potential damaged caused by speed violators? DriveBrite™ driver feedback signs are a safe, effective, and affordable solution. These affordable speed display signs slow down speeding drivers, reducing injuries during collisions and decreasing the number of collisions altogether. Once installed, DriveBrite™ signs showed immediate increases in speed limit compliance.

DriveBrite™ speed display signs beat out the competition

Neighborhood safety is multifaceted: not only should traffic calming devices be effective, but they must not impede other safety factors or detract from a neighborhood’s aesthetics or pleasant atmosphere.

• Police Patrols - As soon as police enforcement withdraws, drivers revert to original behavior of speed violation
• Speed Bumps - Speed bumps, though effective, are noisy, require regular maintenance, and hinder school buses, snow plows, and emergency vehicles such as fire engines
• Lane Narrowing - The effectiveness of lane narrowing is disputed, and again hinders school buses, snow plows, and emergency response vehicles.

These and other methods of traffic calming are unreliable, expensive, or impractical, oftentimes creating new problems such as noise, roadway restrictions, and more.

But DriveBrite™ radar signs are quiet, aesthetic signs that are proven effective, slowing drivers down an average of 10%. Each 5mph decrease in traveling speed enormously increases a pedestrian’s survival rate. And what’s more, these signs will continue to do so for years – unlike other static methods which drivers eventually stop “seeing,” DriveBrite™ speed check radar signs continue to be effective over the years.
