The SSS is capable of detecting individual vehicle speeds, displaying them to the driver on the side of the road. According to the City, driving over the speed limit has been reduced by 25% at the sites of the new signs.

The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas, said, “These signs have proven to be an effective speed calming tool since the installation of the initial signs… We have definitely noticed a drop in the number of vehicles exceeding the speed limit once the displays were switched on. We have also noticed, by monitoring the brake lights of cars, how the cars brake when they actually see the speed at which they are travelling where the “slow down” message is displayed.”
