The Leesburg Residential Traffic Commission voted to purchase two portable driver-feedback signs with flashing red-and-blue strobe modules and remote data capability. The commission approved the purchase after staff presented equipment and pricing proposals and discussed an ongoing $2,500 annual software/service fee that would be required after the first year.
A staff member described the devices and functions during the meeting, saying the signs collect speed data and display driver speed while offering an option for strobe lights when the sign detects excessive speeds. The material proposal given at the meeting listed a unit price of about $5,900 per sign and an overall package cost of about $12,597.19 for the pair and the chosen accessory package. Staff advised the commission that the $2,500 annual fee would need a departmental funding commitment (police or public works) in future budget cycles.
A motion to purchase two driver-feedback signs with the strobe-light option was moved and seconded; the commission conducted a voice vote. The meeting record shows the motion passed by voice and staff said they would circulate vendor confirmations and next steps electronically.
Ending: Staff will follow up with the vendor quote and a purchase order process, and will provide commissioners with contact details and placement options ahead of the signs first deployments.
