Radarsign® Celebrates 10 Years of Traffic Calming

February 6, 2014

From Start-Up to One of the Top Two U.S. Suppliers of Radar Speed Signs in Just One Decade

watermarkALPHARETTA, Ga., Feb. 6, 2014 —February marks the 10-year anniversary for one of metro-Atlanta’s up-and-coming manufacturers. Launched in 2004, Radarsign® established new industry standards for traffic-calming solutions with the debut of the world’s first armored driver feedback signs, which are vandal, weather and bullet-resistant. 

Radarsign’s milestone anniversary comes with a long list of corporate success metrics that reflect long-term, ongoing customer confidence, including:

  • Ten consecutive years of revenue growth
  • A decade of year-over-year increases in signs sold
  • Continued market growth with municipality, HOA , and law enforcement segments
  • Expansion into all 50 states, Canada, Puerto Rico and beyond
  • America’s Official School Zone Safety Partner

Over the years, customers have validated Radarsign products by coming back for more.  Thanks to great customer service and a high quality speed sign, over 30% of 2013 sales was repeat business.

“When we founded Radarsign, we wanted to make streets safer,” said Charlie Robeson, Radarsign co-founder and managing partner. “Over the past decade, we’ve received consistent feedback from customers across the country who confirm that Radarsign driver feedback signs have helped saved lives. That’s been the best news possible. So it’s been a very good first ten years.”

Radarsign was founded by three Atlanta friends—Ken Bass, a former Georgia State Trooper turned high-tech business manager; Barry Ward, a laser-optics, electrography and microprocessor engineer; and Charlie Robeson, a sales and marketing executive—who lived in communities where speeding drivers made streets unsafe at times. Seeking solutions for their neighborhoods, the trio determined that driver feedback signs offered the best solution but existing options were unreliable and exorbitantly priced.  Radarsign was launched to change that.
