Cabarrus County Partners with Urban SDK to Improve Traffic Safety

County officials will leverage Urban SDK's platform to enhance traffic enforcement

Urban SDK Partners With Cabarrus County

Cabarrus County, North Carolina, has partnered with Urban SDK, a leading traffic management platform, to enhance the way it handles public speeding complaints and traffic safety issues. Situated in a high-growth region near Charlotte, Cabarrus County has seen a steady increase in traffic volumes and related speeding complaints, receiving approximately 32 speeding complaints per week. The county joins other North Carolina municipalities leveraging Urban SDK’s traffic data and analytics to improve safety and make data-driven decisions.

With a population of over 225,000, Cabarrus County is a dynamic community experiencing rapid growth. With its location near Charlotte and increased thru traffic, managing public complaints about speeding has become a critical challenge.

Previously, complaints were handled by the municipality in the relevant jurisdiction, using radar signs and trailers to collect traffic speed data. However, this process was reactive, and Cabarrus County sought a more efficient solution that would allow them to address these complaints proactively and improve overall traffic safety.

Urban SDK's comprehensive traffic management platform offers Cabarrus County the tools to collect hourly, daily, and monthly traffic speed data, identify speeding hotspots, and implement traffic calming measures more effectively. The platform’s powerful analytics capabilities will enable the county to prioritize traffic enforcement efforts and provide actionable insights to address growing traffic concerns.

Caleb Newman, Urban SDK’s representative for Cabarrus County, emphasized the impact of the partnership:

‍
“We are excited to work with Cabarrus County as they take a proactive approach to traffic safety. By leveraging our traffic management platform, the county will be able to analyze speeding complaints more efficiently, implement data-driven traffic calming measures, and enhance traffic enforcement efforts. This partnership will undoubtedly lead to safer roads for residents and visitors alike.”

Addressing Traffic Safety Challenges

As Cabarrus County continues to grow, so too does the volume of traffic flowing through its roads. With many commuters using the county as a pass-through area to reach Charlotte, traffic-related complaints have become more frequent. Speeding complaints, in particular, have surged as residents express concerns over unsafe driving behaviors in both residential and commercial areas.

Previously, Cabarrus County used radar signs and trailers to gather speed data, but this method was resource-intensive and provided only limited insight. With Urban SDK, the county can now access accurate, real-time traffic data, enabling them to:

• Monitor traffic volumes across key areas and identify trends in speeding and congestion
  ‍
• Address public speeding complaints with validated, data-driven responses
  ‍
• Implement traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps or reduced speed limits, based on reliable traffic data
  ‍
• Enhance traffic enforcement, allocating resources more effectively based on identified speeding hotspots

A New Era of Traffic Management

Urban SDK’s platform seamlessly integrates with Cabarrus County’s existing infrastructure, making it easier for county officials to monitor and manage traffic. By leveraging the platform’s capabilities, Cabarrus County can improve both congestion management and overall traffic safety, ensuring that the county’s rapid growth does not come at the cost of public safety.

The platform also assists in prioritizing traffic enforcement efforts, ensuring that speed monitoring resources such as radar signs and trailers are deployed to areas that need them most. This data-backed approach helps the county become more proactive in addressing resident concerns and improving the overall quality of life.
