PennDOT Places Speed Display Board on Route 219 in Horton Township, Elk County

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) placed a radar-controlled speed display board this week on Route 219 in Horton Township, Elk County. It is intended to remind drivers to obey the posted speed limit and reduce speeding, a common type of aggressive driving behavior.

The board faces northbound traffic between Howard Road and Boggy Run Road on a section of Route 219 with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour. The board utilizes radar to determine the speeds of oncoming traffic and posts them to the lighted section of the sign.

The board will remain in this location for four to six weeks.

Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the leading causes of Pennsylvania crashes and fatalities. Other aggressive driving behaviors include running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally, and tailgating.


PennDOT listed aggressive driving behaviors as a factor in 53 percent of crashes in Elk County in 2025.



Learn more about aggressive driving at PennDOT’s highway safety website, www.PennDOT.pa.gov/safety.

PennDOT oversees programs and policies affecting highways, airports, railroads, ports, and waterways.
