Our radar speed signs provide real-time feedback to drivers, encouraging them to reduce speed and follow posted limits. Studies have shown speed reductions ranging from 15% to 25%, with as many as 85% of speeding drivers slowing down. Radar signs can also be an effective alternative to speed humps, which may impede emergency vehicles, affect cyclists, and create additional noise.

Winstar Road Supply offers a variety of radar speed sign models, including A/C wired and battery-and-solar-powered units, as well as mobile and stationary options. Signs are available in a range of colors, display sizes, and customization options.

Each model includes different operating options, such as 24/7 continuous operation or scheduled use during specific times. Smart connectivity also allows users to review collected vehicle data and choose the best setup for their specific location and traffic concerns.

Yes. Battery-and-solar-powered models can be moved to a new location. These units are lightweight and, with a universal mount, can be easily reinstalled on another sign pole.

No. Each battery-operated with solar model includes a high-capacity backup battery, an 80–120 watt solar panel, and a solar panel mounting bracket. These systems are designed for energy-efficient 24/7 operation.

For best results, install the radar speed sign approximately 5 to 7 feet above the ground, directly facing traffic, on a straight road section without tree cover for solar-powered models. Visibility, traffic patterns, and placement all affect performance.

Installation costs depend on who performs the work. HOA volunteer installation may cost little or nothing, local public works installation may cost a few hundred dollars per sign, and contractor installation will usually cost more due to labor and service fees. Municipalities often use local public works staff to reduce expenses.

Winstar Road Supply states that its radar sign series is covered by a 2-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of receipt. Batteries included with solar-powered models have a 1-year warranty.

Install the sign no more than 5 feet from the road curb. Greater distances can cause displayed speeds to read lower than the vehicle’s actual speed.

No. Radar speed signs should always be installed on a straight section of road. Curved road placement reduces driver reaction time and can interfere with accurate vehicle detection.

The sign should be positioned perpendicular to the road, with the radar aimed directly at the curb in the direction of oncoming traffic, not toward the center of the road.

Solar-powered radar signs should not be installed under trees or in shaded areas. The solar panel should face south at a 45-degree angle for best charging performance.

Install the sign on the same side as oncoming traffic. Installing it on the opposite side may reduce detection accuracy because of radar angle limitations.

Mount the sign 7 to 10 feet above the ground. If there is street parking, mount it high enough to detect vehicles over parked cars.

Yes, but if it is installed above 12 feet, it should be tilted downward no more than 3 to 4 degrees. Too much tilt can shorten detection time and affect speed accuracy.

In most private communities and developments, the HOA owns and maintains the roads, so the HOA sets speed limits and parking rules as long as they do not conflict with local laws.

In most states, police enforce traffic laws on public roads only. On private HOA roads, the HOA is generally responsible for setting and enforcing its own traffic rules unless there is a formal agreement with the local municipality.

Generally, no. If the roads are public and maintained by local government, speed enforcement is typically handled by local authorities. In these cases, HOAs usually need to work with local agencies to address speeding concerns.

Yes, under certain conditions. HOAs may fine members, tenants, or guests who violate community speed rules, provided they follow applicable state requirements such as notice and hearing procedures.

Even without specific traffic rules, many HOA governing documents include a nuisance clause that may cover behavior endangering residents. In some cases, speeding may fall under that provision.

Yes. Winstar states that its systems can send automated warnings to speeding drivers. While these warnings do not affect a driver’s public record, they can serve as a strong deterrent, especially when combined with HOA-issued fines.

Fixed speed safety cameras are used for continuous speed enforcement in places such as school zones, urban roads, and interstates. They help reduce speeding, improve driver behavior, and support community safety.

The system uses three-dimensional radar technology capable of detecting and tracking more than 100 moving objects with accurate speed and lane recognition.

Each event is documented using high-resolution images and 24/7 high-definition video, including low-light conditions. The cameras also use LED illumination designed to minimize glare for drivers.

Yes. Winstar states that the data is protected through a secure chain of evidence that includes digital signatures, data encryption, and system self-checks.

Yes. The system includes remote monitoring, video retrieval, and live streaming capabilities when needed.

Services include site surveys, construction, maintenance, support, program training, event processing, citation management, payment support, court support, reporting tools, and public awareness campaigns.

Winstar states that it works with communities and municipalities to design, install, and manage customized warning and enforcement systems based on local safety needs.

Key technologies listed include 3DHD radar tracking, high-resolution still imaging, 24/7 HD video recording, automated license plate recognition, LED nighttime illumination, and secondary speed verification systems.

Mobile speed safety cameras are designed for on-the-go enforcement and can be deployed from a vehicle in areas such as interstates, school zones, work zones, and community roads. They help reduce speeding and increase driver awareness.

These systems are designed for roadside deployment from specially equipped vehicles and can operate with or without a technician present, depending on the setup.

Yes. Winstar states that the system uses precise radar detection and lane designation technology, supported by digital signatures and self-check systems for reliable speed event capture.

Yes. Winstar says mobile systems can support enforcement models based on either vehicle owner or driver liability, depending on local regulations.

Each speed event is captured with high-resolution still images and HD video, including nighttime recording. The system uses low-glare illumination and can capture front and rear views of speeding vehicles depending on the configuration.

Yes. The mobile camera system is described as being built for all-weather operation and available in multiple vehicle configurations.

Program support includes site surveys, mobile deployment, field services, maintenance, operator training, citation processing, reporting tools, court documentation, payment support, and public awareness outreach.

Yes. Winstar states that each system maintains a secure chain of custody with encrypted data, remote communication, and built-in system validations.

Listed technologies include radar detection, speed validation, high-resolution images, HD video, a tablet user interface for live control, multi-vehicle deployment options, and low-glare LED illumination.
