PennDOT Places Speed Display Sign on Route 550 in Bellefonte
State College, PA – Motorists traveling through Bellefonte Borough, Centre County, will be reminded to obey the posted speed limit. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today the placement of a radar-controlled speed display sign on Route 550 between Parkview Boulevard and Medical Park Lane. The sign will aid in curbing speeding, a common type of aggressive driving. The sign faces southbound traffic and utilizes radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic. Vehicle speeds are then posted on the lighted section of the sign. The speed limit on this section of Route 550 is 35 mph.
The sign was placed earlier today and will remain in this location for approximately 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.
Aggressive driving behaviors were listed as a crash cause in 53 percent of Centre County crashes in 2019.
