New high tech speed sign being deployed in Clearview

This past week, a new partnership was formed between Clearview Township, the Clearview Community Policing Committee and Huronia West OPP through the purchase of a new speed sign.

The Traffic Logix Safe Pace 450 sign, which is to be deployed primarily in Clearview Township, is a digital data collection sign that will be used to collect data on the traffic counts and speed of vehicles travelling along the roadways.

Through its technology, the new speed sign may also provide real-time information to Huronia West OPP, alerting them to the time and location of excessive speeds of vehicles within the township.

As a result, problem roadways in the township can be better patrolled and made safer as speeding can be reduced.

The speed sign can be deployed to many different areas in the township, through requests made by concerned citizens or at the suggestion of the police, the policing committee or township officials.

Data collected can be shared between Huronia West OPP, Clearview Township and the Clearview Community Policing Committee.

All three groups are very excited about this new partnership and look forward to making the township a safer place to live.
