Drivers made aware of mileage thanks to new radar
speed trailer Updated 8/28/2003 at 2:33 PM
From Staff Reports at the White Oak Independent
Since the start of school, citizens of White Oak traveling
on White Oak Road near the school have probably noticed
the red trailer displaying vehicle speeds. The “Radar
Speed Trailer” was built by city employees, Craig
Waddell and Randy Dodson, at the request of the White Oak
Police Department.
“The speed trailer has been monitored by officers
and reports indicate it has successfully slowed speeders
in the area, “ Chief Charlie Smith said.
The trailer has been beneficial to both the citizens of
White Oak and the police department. It is a great reminder
for people to slow down in the school zones now that school
is once again is session. The WOPD will also be able to
move the speed trailer to different locations around the
city where complaints of speeding have been reported. The
timing of the trailer coincided with the new school year
and the upcoming Labor Day holiday. Officers will be more
vigilant due to the increased traffic and number of intoxicated
drivers on the highways. The goal of White Oak officers
is to keep the citizens of the city and Gregg County safe
as they travel during this time of year.
