Speed Feedback Sign on Hunsaker Lane

From Lane County Public Works:

Greetings Beaver-Hunsaker Interested Parties:

Yesterday, Lane County set up a speed feedback sign (pictured to the right) on Hunsaker Lane. This is in response to the many concerns we heard during our planning process about vehicle speeds.

These signs have been proven to reduce speeds. Unfortunately, their effectiveness fades if they are in place for more than two weeks because they are no longer a new flashy feature that catches the driver’s attention. In our busy culture with many distractions, these signs become “white noise” if not moved around. Thus, this is not a permanent installation on Hunsaker Lane.

Over the coming months, we are going to be focusing this new equipment, which we acquired with a grant, on school zones. Click here for a news release about this broader effort to improve safety in Lane County.
