Tisdale bringing in radar signs and crosswalks with lights

May 30, 2019 | 5:23 PM

The Town of Tisdale received a $10,000 grant from the Photo Speed Enforcement Committee, and they’ve been quick to spend it.

Movable radar signs will be placed at both the north and west entrances of Tisdale at the beginning to alert drivers of the speed they’re travelling, and a pedestrian crosswalk with lights on 100 Street between Dairy Queen and Memorial Park.

Brad Hvidston, Tisdale’s chief administrative officer, told northeastNOW there are no speeding issues near the town’s entrances, but the intersection between Dairy Queen and Memorial has been a targeted area to make safer for some time.

“Just by nature, that area is a little bit dangerous because it’s a curve coming from both ways,” Hvidston said. “You may not see kids or students trying to cross there until you get around the curve, and if you’re moving a little too quick, it might be too late.”

Hvidston said it was brought to the town’s attention by an anonymous citizen who agreed to pay a portion of the cost if they agreed to pursue it, which Hvidston said the town appreciates.

The Town of Tisdale is expected to begin installing the crosswalk lights and radar signs as soon as they can, but Hvidston said there’s no estimated date on when the materials will arrive to town.
