The Erie Bureau of Police will be about to use new tools to combat speed overruns, a common factor that is cited by investigators of the city police accident in fatal accidents.

Police chief Dan Spizarny said that the office recently bought three portable speed signs through the financing of federal grants, and the police would publish these signs in certain areas in order to pursue the traffic and speed of drivers.

The signs that use radar flash the speed at which they approach and pass the signs. However, you will also record data about the number of vehicles that drive through the area and the speeds that these vehicles drive to determine which areas the police can address for the enforcement, said Spizarny.

“We cannot write a ticket based on the radar because we are not allowed, but it gives us information and lets us know what we see on blocks up to traffic and speeds,” he said.

The signs are expected to be issued at an upcoming press conference on which the police from Erie and Penndot will announce an aggressive driving campaign, said Spizarny.

Various other traffic enforcement carried out by the Erie police will continue, officials said, including the enforcement of school areas and the fight against complaints in neighborhoods. The Erie police also continue special patrols along East 38th Street, a assertiveness effort in 2024 after two serious traffic accidents along the street.

Pennsylvania State Police Troopers will again support the police in East 38th Street, said Lt. Gary Garman, supervisor of the patrol police for the state police force E in the township Lawrence Park.

Garman said that soldiers will also carry out a number of other data traffic details in the Erie region, as they do regularly every year. They contain a click or ticket campaign about the Memorial Day and at least 13 DUI control points that the team carries out every year, he said.
