"Study suggests that, through the //use of radar speed signs, speed reductions within the intersection area may have a direct impact on intersection safety//." - Florida Dept of Transportation : []
 * has statistics that show the effectiveness of different measures & suggestions for alternative methods

"Researchers found that a DSDS //significantly reduced vehicle speeds at a school speed zone//. Prior to the installation of the sign, the average speed entering one speed zone was nearly 10 miles per hour (mph) higher than the posted speed limit through that zone. After the DSDS was installed, the average speed decreased more than 9 mph. Furthermore, average speeds were still 9 mph lower when researchers returned to that site and measured speeds four months after DSDS installation." - Texas Transportation Institute, Texas A&M University System : []
