Radar Speed Sign Posted


Motorists travelling along Kings Highway in Fort Frances near J-W Walker School may want to watch their speed.

Constable Anne McCoy says Ontario Provincial Police have a new radar speed sign that flashes the speeds of vehicles as they pass by.

"It can be operated alone or it can be operated with an enforcement officer within the vicinity of the sign," says McCoy. "It's basically an awareness and education component first off, but it can be used with the enforcement component."

A $4,300 grant from Safe Kids Canada to the Community Policing Committee aided in the sign's purchase.
