Campus Safety and Speed Signs

By Jessi McCafferty


If someone is driving up the campus streets and a pedestrian steps into the street about 50 feet in front of the auto, what will most likely happen? If the driver is driving slowly, which is mostly likely either 15 or 20 miles an hour on streets that are near buildings and places where most individuals walk, possibilities are nothing's going to happen. If the alert driver sees the pedestrian and reacts in about one second the car will have time to come to a stop before reaching the person in the street. Even a slower reaction time will have the car slowed a good deal. The pedestrian may have plenty of time to get out of the way.

A car traveling 30 miles an hour, on the other hand, with a driver that reacts inside one second will likely not even slow down by the end of that 50-foot stretch of road. If the automobile strikes the pedestrian, it will probably be traveling at 30 mph. Meaning that the individual hit has more than a 1 in 3 odds of dying as a result of his or her wounds. In contrast, if a vehicle traveling 20 mph hits someone, the chances of the pedestrian dying as a consequence is only 1 in 20.

There are several devices that may be used on campus streets, but a feedback sign offers the best traffic control with the most convenience. They do not have to be permanently installed like speed bumps, they do not need manpower like detectable traffic officers, and they won't slow emergency vehicles that also need to slow down to navigate speed bumps safety.

They can be moved where they are needed, installed permanently, or solar-powered or battery-powered, depending on the campus' desires. And they are effective, slowing drivers by showing them the velocity they're traveling right away and bringing their awareness back to the road.

Using TraffiCalm signs in congested areas like university campuses where both drivers and pedestrians are present can help prevent deadly accidents and reduce the quantity of overall accidents.
