Cole County Public Works to buy five speed radar signs

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Cole County Public Works is spending $20,900 to buy five speed radar signs that will be used around the county.

Public Works Director Eric Landwehr told ABC 17 News in a statement that Henwick Lane will be the first road to see the signs placed.

“We have had numerous citizen complaints regarding speeding on this roadway,” the statement says. “We are also looking at other roads with similar complaints. These signs are easily moveable so we will likely rotate them around the county but we’ll keep them on a road for quite a while and not move them too often. We have a portable radar trailer that is better for short term use at problem locations."
