​​Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board this week on Route 53 in Woodward Township, near Houtzdale, in Clearfield County. It will remind drivers to obey the posted speed limit and aid in curbing speeding, a common type of aggressive driving behavior.

The board faces northbound traffic on Route 53 between Juniata Avenue and Fifth Street. The board utilizes radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign.

The board will remain in this location for four to six weeks.

Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the leading causes of Pennsylvania crashes and fatalities. Other aggressive driving behaviors include running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally, and tailgating.

PennDOT listed aggressive driving behaviors as a factor in 51 percent of crashes in Clearfield County in 2023.
