Road staff says two radar-counter kits will cut traffic study time; court approves purchase
Summary
Road staff requested two radar-counter kits from Jabar Technologies to shorten traffic counting from six months to roughly two weeks and to save about $700 per license; commissioners approved going out for purchase of the two kits and licenses.
Road staff (Trent, speaker 5) told the court that the county’s biennial traffic-speed analysis would be faster and cheaper if two additional radar-counter kits were purchased. Staff said adding two kits would reduce counting time from about six months to roughly two weeks and would save roughly $700 per license under the current quote from Jabar Technologies.
Commissioners approved a motion to go out and purchase two additional kits with associated licenses and maintenance. Staff described the devices as small radar boxes that can be mounted on poles and noted they produce more authentic speed data than visible traffic-trailer rigs that prompt drivers to slow down.
