How the City of West Peoria Is Using the Radarsign TC-400

In February of 2020, the city of West Peoria, IL, purchased a Radarsign TC-400.

That purchase was in response to a growing number of complaints from residents that drivers were speeding on their streets with estimated speeds at 70 miles per hour. Understandably, city leadership needed to put those comments to the test and validate the concerns.

After researching several vendors, West Peoria selected Radarsign. A number things were considered including price, user-friendliness and ease of installation.

Once the sign was delivered, the city’s Public Works department took responsibility and moved it around every two weeks or so. West Peoria is 80 percent residential, so the sign is usually operating in a residential area. 

The city uses Radarsign’s Streetsmart software to track activity and speeds with the sign, running regular reports that administrators review. When the data reveals speeding problems, the sheriff’s office steps in, placing officers at the right time and location — maximizing their time and efforts.

Residents definitely like the sign. Importantly, they see that their city leaders hear and respond to their concerns. 

And what about the cascade of complaints? These days they’re getting more requests for the sign than complaints about speeders.
