What range can I expect from my SpeedCheck® radar speed sign?

This article details radar range expectations for SPEEDCHECK-12/15/18 installations.

Product applicability

The following products are discussed in this article:

  • SpeedCheck: SPEEDCHECK-12, SPEEDCHECK-15 and SPEEDCHECK-18

The typical range you can expect from your SpeedCheck radar speed sign is between 400 - 1,000 feet, with several variables contributing to this value:

  • Sign mounting height
  • Sign mounting distance from the road
  • Sign alignment 
  • Size of vehicles being detected 
  • Road grade and road curves
    • Tilt mounting brackets (optional) may be required for certain applications, such as road grades that incline or decline
  • Physical obstructions (trees, buildings)
  • Number of lanes to detect (which will affect your sign alignment)

The SPEEDCHECK-12/15/18 radar speed signs have been independently tested to over 1,000 feet of range.
