PennDOT Places Speed Display Board in Ulysses Borough
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board on Route 1003 (Loucks Mills Road) in Ulysses Borough, Potter County, to remind drivers to obey the posted speed limit. The sign, placed Tuesday, will aid in curbing speeding, a common type of aggressive driving behavior.
The board faces northbound traffic between Route 1001 (Fox Hill Road) and Center Street. The board utilizes radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign.
The speed limit on Loucks Mills Road at this location is 25 miles per hour. The board will remain in this location for two to four weeks before being repositioned to face southbound traffic.
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 a contributing factor in 46 percent of Potter County crashes in 2020.
