TxDOT Curve Speed Warning System Project
Description
Curve speed warning systems utilize roadside speed detection equipment to detect the speed of vehicles approaching a roadway curve to automate a warning to the vehicles about the need to reduce their speed. Warning messages could be provided through flashing beacons that are activated when vehicle speeds exceed a speed threshold. Flashing beacons would be installed on static signage with messages about the roadway curve ahead. Other messages could be provided through dynamic message signs that present messages to reduce vehicle speed in advance of the roadway curve.
