The Radarsign™ Brand Expands Product Line with New Child Safety Package Delivering the Most Comprehensive School Zone Traffic Calming System on the Market
ALPHARETTA, Ga., July 29, 2009–Radarsign™ today announced the company has expanded its already comprehensive traffic safety product line with the addition of a new Child Safety Package featuring a combination of school zone beacons and a driver feedback sign. The flashing beacon and radar sign easily attach to a single pole also holding the regulatory speed limit sign and housing for a battery backup & timer/controller. The Radarsign brand driver feedback sign alerts drivers to their actual speeds. All devices are powered by a single energy source – either a single solar panel or A/C power.
“Transportation department leaders believe beacons are the next requirement for all school zones,” said Charlie Robeson, Director of Sales and Marketing for Radarsign.“We’ve designed these components to fit and work together with ease. Having only one pole with a Radarsign and flashing beacon cuts costs, improves visibility and – most importantly – makes school zones safer.”
The beacons & radar sign can be programmed to turn on during school hours and can be timed with school vacations. Each component is designed to meet the highest quality standards, withstand the toughest weather and provide a reliable, measurable method for slowing traffic in school zones.
