Speed board placed on Route 322

PennDOT placed a radar-controlled speed display board on Route 322 near State College to remind drivers to obey the posted speed limit and reduce speeding, a common type of aggressive driving behavior.

This board faces westbound traffic one mile before the State College/Route 26 exit in a 55 mile per hour zone. The board uses radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign. The board will remain in place until this fall.

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.

In 2024, there were 5,897 aggressive driving crashes across the state, resulting in 106 fatalities and 405 suspected serious injuries.
