Road Construction Signs in PA with Ka Radar - Route: 80 East and West

[stano0098]

I've only seen them on the turnpike in construction zones, so they're not as accessible for testing as you would think.

I pass roughly about 4 of them on my way to work and they are currently setting more up on my travels. 1 Ka-band and the rest k-band. Ka-band sign i could get about 1.5 miles and the k-band depending on location little over 2 miles.

There are 2 Ka drones set up in the construction zone on 35W near crosstown. Really annoying.

I live out in Chester County, so PSP rarely even run radar out here (They have to come all the way from the troop in Media, 45 minutes or so), they mostly just drive around and pace/look for other traffic infractions. Have yet to see a drone in my area (including my travels in Philly) outside of the turnpike.

Hope they don't bring them out to my area

The majority of them were on 80 East and West from Hazleton to Bellefonte with 2 on 220 going towards State College.

EDIT: I have never seen a PSP actually using these signs for speed enforcement - mostly they just use IO around them, or just keep them to slow down RD users (more often).

One time I encountered the PSP using K-band in the shadow of a K-band drone. Can't get too complacent...
