Governor Inspects Speedminder' Equipment
Governor Lawrence is an atten-
tive listener as 0. D. Shipley, Com-
missioner of Traffic Safety, explains
the use of a dry chemical fire ex- |
tinguisher, and other special equip-
ment being carried on the Com-
Spronwealth’s eleven new Speedmin- |
der Cruisers now operating on the
State’s highways.
Although the primary mission of
the Cruisers with their oversized,
roof-mounted speedometer clocks is |
to create “speed consciousness” in
the minds of motorists, the vehicles
| and their drivers are also prepared
| give assistance in traffic emer-
| gencies. In addition to the fire ex-
| tinguisher, each cruiser is equipped
| with an Asbestos fire-fighting suit,
| first aid kit, road flares and re-
| flectors, a crash bar, and wool
blankets. The interior of the Cruis-
standard band
and short wave police radios, and a
| er features seat belts,
police special speedometer connected
to the roof-mounted clock speed-
ometer and calibrated every 30 days
for accuracy.
The Speedminder Cruisers, driven
by field representatives of the Bur-
eau of Traffic Safety, are patroling
the State's key travel arteries every
weekend during the summer in an
effort to discourage excessive speed
and thereby reduce the usually
heavy traffic death-and-injury toll
of the sunshine season.

3 MPH Leeway For Drivers
In Use Of Highway Radar
The State Police will “give
motorists the advantage of every
doubt” when highway radar goes in-
to use on Pennsylvania highways
Colonel Frank Gz: McCartney said
today.
The State Police commissioner,
releasing details of instructions to
radar teams, said officers have been
ordered not to make arrests for
“borderline violations or for short
bursts’ of speed while one vehicle
passes another.”
A total of 19 highway radar units
will go into operation throughout
the Commonwealth September 1, in
time for the Labor Day holiday
weekend. Radar will be used only
by State Police and only on state
highways.
two weeks of the program have
been designed ‘a “familiarization
period,” during which the radar
units will be operated only during
the daylight hours. After this per-
iod the units wil be assigned both
day and night, with the hours stag-
gered “to afford maximum coverage
and to promote "selective enforce-
ment.”
The radar teams will not operate
when fog, sleet, snow or heavy rain
cause reduced visibility and slippery

Before using the radar unit oper-
ators will test it precisely both by
electronic theans and by driving a
test car through the radar beam at
the posted speed limit. ‘All units will

ate each month by an official radar

Bach radar team will consist of |
one mnon-commisioned officer and |
three troopers — all | thoroughly
trained in radar operation. The
radar-equipped patrol car will be
parked in clear view of passing
motorists, on straight, level high-
ways. Special emphasis will be given
to radar use at locations where ac-
or disguise the radar unit or oper-
ating personnel,” the State Police
will be adjusted to cover only traffic
in the adjacent lanes and arrests
will be made only for violations in
those lanes.”
Two interceptor patrol cars, in
radio contact with the radar team,
will be stationed 1,000 to 3,000 feet
ahead of the radar car to pursue
and stop violators identified by the
radar operators. :
In the case of a Pennsylvania
motorist apprehended by the radar
team, a traffic arrest report
(“ticket”) will be issued and the
lator wil be allowed to resumé his
travel without delay. Out-of state
motorists 'will be - brought im-
mediately before a justice of the
peace for a hearing. There will be
no ‘“‘convoying” of groups of vio-
lators.
Said Colonel McCartney:
very cautious
highway radar to be used for the
prosecution of speeders. Pennsyl-
vania is the last state in the nation
to legalize radar for this use. Some
legislators and many ordinary citi-
be utilized to the detriment of the
public. We hope to convince them
at the outset that the Pennsylvania
State Police will use highway radar
—as we use every other law en-
forcement tool—to enforce the laws
of the Commonwealth reasonably
and fairly.
“The only effect radar will have
on the law abiding driver is to make
his travel safer by helping the per-
| sistent violator from the highway
and by curbing every motorist’s
tendency to excessive speed.”
