TrafficCalm System

The Town of Coaldale's TrafficCalm System consists in speed signs that have been placed, on a rotational basis, throughout the Town to enhance public safety on Town roads and streets by encouraging drivers to voluntarily reduce their speed. These interactive signs show motorists if they are speeding or following the posted speed limit. The signs collect daily data allowing for further research and analysis. The signs are not automated traffic enforcement (photo radar) signs.

If you have any further questions or feedback regarding these signs please call 1-844-645-2635.
