Eyes on the road...

The team continues to manually monitor roads and record speeds over a measured distance while waiting for the equipment to arrive in Zimbabwe. In the meantime, talks with local law enforcement and billboard design continue to move forward!

    Can’t wait! I talk about the project and how Sabrina and I helped in a National conference presentation for vets that is coming up. Hope to bring more awareness to the issue.

About This Project

Wildlife deaths due to vehicular collisions are a global concern. Physical barriers to reduce speeding are not always possible in conservation areas, so a rapid and reliable speed enforcement system is essential when speed bumps and fences cannot be used. Some vehicles travel at twice the posted speed limit in the KAZA study area: endangering wildlife and community members. This project to monitor and reduce speeding is the first step in deploying a larger regional and intercountry wide system.

Blast off!
