Police present July radar-trailer data; enforcement is complaint-driven
Summary
The police chief reported radar-trailer and radar-sign data for July, giving vehicle counts and speed percentiles at multiple locations and saying deployment is complaint-driven with enforcement to follow deployments.
The Raymore Police Department presented July data from radar trailers and speed signs at several locations and described how the program is used to target enforcement.
The chief reported weeklong counts at multiple locations: for example, at Lucy Webb and Lakeshore one week there were 20,032 vehicles (about 2,861 per day) with an average speed of about 33.85 mph and an 85th‑percentile speed near 40 mph. The chief said placement is complaint‑driven and that officers typically follow up with targeted enforcement the week after the trailer is deployed. Councilmembers thanked the department and asked residents to contact city staff if they want extra enforcement in a neighborhood.
No policy changes were adopted; the presentation was informational and council did not vote on enforcement procedures.
