SPEED AWARENESS UNIT

The Scotts Valley Police Department speed awareness unit is used in various locations around the city. It lets the motoring public know their speeds when they pass by in hope that if they are speeding they will slow down and remember to do so in the future. The speed awareness unit is also utilized for traffic counts and speed surveys. Information obtained from these surveys is used to assist in establishing roadway surveys and placement of traffic control devices. Citizen volunteers assist the department by moving the radar trailer to selected streets throughout the city.
