The Knoxville Police Department has used a grant from the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) to purchase a mobile, solar powered speed detecting sign.

Lieutenant Fuller says the sign can be helpful to the police in many ways, allowing them to check the speed and volume of vehicles in areas with frequent accidents and adjust enforcement as necessary. The GTSB works to identify traffic problems within the state and partners with local law enforcement to prevent injury and death on Iowa’s roads.
