The two high-tech speed indicators that have been in place on South Second and Chestnut streets since last August are no longer present, to the dismay of many residents and - believe it or not - motorists.

Not to worry, borough officials said. The solar-powered devices on poles were removed on a temporary basis to avoid getting hit if the roads get icy or snowy, either by vehicles or snow plows. They will be back in business again in the spring.

The digital LED devices display “Thank you” for complying with the speed limit or “Slow down” if a driver is speeding.
