Kahnawake Installs Radar Speed Signs

The Public Safety Division of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke and the Kahnawake Mohawk Peacekeepers would like to inform the community that fifteen (15) Radar Speed Signs are being installed at various locations in Kahnawake.

The Public Works Department began installing the signs in and around school zones on Monday, November 14, 2022.

Kahnawake implemented this to educate motorists in the community to be mindful of their speed and increase safety, especially in school zones and pedestrian crossings. While these units will display vehicle speed in real-time, MCK says their function is to advise motorists whether they are following the posted speed limit at that location.

The Radar Speed Signs will only display your speed and will not be used for speed enforcement.

Although the Radar Speed Signs won’t completely resolve the issues with vehicles speeding, they will help raise awareness of the problem of excessive speed in and around the community.

The Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Peacekeepers also want to remind the community that speeding, especially in school zones and at crosswalks, is dangerous and poses a risk to our children and community. The Peacekeepers will also continue to conduct speed enforcement operations.
