When entering back into a county from a city, how far must RADAR units be from warning signs?

The requirement for RADAR units to be positioned 600 feet from warning signs when entering back into a county from a city is based on standard practices that aim to enhance speed enforcement effectiveness while ensuring compliance with legal guidelines. This distance helps to provide a buffer zone that allows for adequate warning to drivers using the road, promoting safety and awareness as they transition from the more urban environment of a city to the possibly higher-speed environment of a county.

By maintaining this distance, enforcement units can better observe and monitor vehicle speeds safely without being placed too close to warning signs, where drivers might be more likely to alter their speed right at the sign instead of observing the speed limit in the upcoming area.

In contrast, the other distances, such as 300 feet, 500 feet, and 800 feet, do not align with established enforcement standards, which emphasize the importance of being 600 feet away as a preferred practice. This specific distance is intended to balance the need for effective speed enforcement with the responsibilities of ensuring public safety and driver awareness.
