The SID Gen8 Radar Speed Sign is a recognised road safety education tool, ideal for all traffic scenarios and site environments. Easy to use & lightweight at just 6kg it can be installed at a fixed location or moved from place to place.
Dependent on your project, SID Gen8 is powered in one of 3 ways: Mains, Solar or Battery. SID Gen8 vehicle detection range of up to 100 metres provides advanced messaging to vehicles educating drivers of their speed behaviour.
SID Gen8 provides a non-confrontational warning to drivers, warning them of their speed via an LED display and putting social pressure on them to decrease speed when required.
Affectionately known as “Smiley SID” Speed Indication Display, SID has gained acceptance by its user selectable „Safety Smile“ mode giving a friendly presentation of a serious message, reinforcing safety and educating drivers on site and within our communities.
