2/10/10

With considerable help from the Buckhead Coalition, NBCA purchased a radar device.

The e-mail we sent to the neighborhood explains some of the background (among other things).

• E-mail

Here are some analyses we have done, all on Wieuca Road at Pinecrest Road.

• Radar analyses showing speed by time of day
   
• Percentiles of vehicle speed as vehicles approach the radar The radar was stationed at the bottom of a steep hill - cars naturally accelerate.
   
• 3D Chart showing speed of vehicles approaching the radar Note how the vehicles slow down the last few seconds before reaching the radar.
   
• Presentation to the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods 2/11/10
