One year on for VATCS in Brantford School Zone
Dorman Varitext were delighted to receive client feedback from one of the first School Zone Dual Diagram VATCS sign installation in Canada at Brantford, Ontario, this week.
One year on from when the signs were first installed, the VATCS continue to be effective at keeping the speeds down on Shellard Lane. The City traffic engineering team found that the one year results were better than the initial two week evaluation after installation tests...9 to 10 % reduction to the 85th percentile, as summarized and noted below:
Eastbound:
Average speed before: 62 kph
two weeks:58 kph
(6% reduction)
one year:
57 kph
(8% reduction)
85th percentile
before: 73 kph
two weeks: 68 kph
(7% reduction)
one year: 66 kph (10% reduction)
Westbound:
Average speed before: 58kph
two weeks: 54 kph
(7% reduction)
one year:
53 kph
(9% reduction)
85th percentile
before: 66kph
two weeks: 62 kph
(6% reduction)
one year: 61 kph (8% reduction)
A Brantford City Police Force representative also commented "Excellent - I can't recall receiving one complaint about speeding in that area of Shellard lane during the past year."
The City are planning to take a report to council this month regarding the operation of the VATCS signs on Shellard lane in reducing speeds.
