Begin Radar
Speed Control
Here Monday

East Cleveland's newest scien-
tific traffic control, radar, goes
into operation with Monday, Janu-
ary 10th. Chief of Police H. s.
Weaver today announces that a
two weeks educational program
with the newest equipment, radar,
will start Monday. and warns all
motorists to watch their speed
ometers at all times and in all
parts of the city
During this educational period,
any motorist caught speeding by
means of radar, will be warned by
the officer in charge. The radar
will be explained to him, if he
desires. Following this educational
period of two weeks, motorists
whose cars are "picked up" by the
wave lengths of this newest device
in safety traffic control, will "tell
it to the Judge"
Explaining the operation cf
radar equipment, Chief Weaver
says its another scientific means
Of controlling reckless driving.
Two police cars operate together in
its functioning. The equipment, a
portable case, is placed in one car.
Through microwaves, it can detect
the speed of the fastest oncoming
object, and returning waves and
other mechanism within the equip
ment instantly calibrates the speed
and registers it. The officer in
charge then radios the number and
description Of the car to the second
officer who halts the motorist as
he passes by.
Zones within which the radar
will be in effect will be posted
during the educational period and
for brief time thereafter. Then
the motorist who travels in East
Cleveland will be entirely on his
own to at all times keep his car
within the speed limit designated
for that particular street over
which he is travelling.
Chief of Police Weaver has OBJ
served this new speed control
device in operation in Columbus. 1t
is used in many municipalities
throughout the country and any
number of State Highway Patrol;
have instituted its use, also. Cleve
land lIeigiis is now using t-Jiar
CIeves n has the subject ~hdel
advisi nent.
Wherever radar has been used
states Chief Weaver, reports Of its
results lists the psychological eff.
fects on a driver when he knows
he is travelling through radar
zone, as possibly the biggest factor
for it's success.
The equipment cost $3.50.
