CLEVELAND — The city of Cleveland has launched its pilot program designed to help curb speeding in many of its residential areas.
Ten radar speed feedback signs have been placed at strategic locations across the city. The signs display the travel speeds of passing vehicles to increase driver attention, awareness, and to reduce speeding.
The signs, which were purchased by the Cleveland Division of Police, will be rotated to new locations monthly based on data and requests from police, council members, and residents. For the first month, here is where the radar speed feedback signs will be located:
- West 85th – Madison to I-90
- Bosworth – Lorain to Bellaire
- Spring – West 11th to Broadview
- Storer Avenue – West 65th to West 44th
- East 93rd – Cedar to Quincy
- East 65th – Bessemer to Wren Ave
- East 116th – Buckeye to Dickens
- Miles Ave. – East 131 to Lee
- Grovewood – East 156 to Marginal
- Green Road – Ridgehill to S. Green
The city says 18 more signs will be purchased in coming months using discretionary funds from council.
On Thursday, crews will also begin installing rubber modular speed tables at nine locations in the city to help slow traffic on residential roads that have a documented speeding problem. Installation of all of the city's speed tables is expected to be completed within the next four to five weeks.
The city of Cleveland will hold a briefing on Thursday afternoon at its first installed speed table on Corlett Avenue between East 120th and East 123rd streets. You can learn more about the speed tables and see where the rest will be installed here.
The pilot program is part of Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb's Vision Zero Initiative, which seeks to eliminate serious injuries and deaths from crashes on city roads through "clear, measurable strategies to provide safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all."
