The City of Gastonia, North Carolina, has partnered with Urban SDK, a leading traffic management platform, to address public speeding concerns and enhance road safety for its residents. With a population of approximately 80,000, Gastonia becomes the latest North Carolina community to adopt Urban SDK’s cutting-edge technology, joining Wake Forest and Cabarrus County in leveraging data-driven solutions for traffic management.

Public speeding concerns are one of the most frequent complaints received by the City of Gastonia, particularly in residential and high-pedestrian areas. Urban SDK’s platform equips the city with the tools needed to analyze traffic speed data, identify hotspots, and implement effective traffic calming measures.

Urban SDK's Caleb Newman shared his excitement about the partnership: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with the City of Gastonia as they take proactive steps to address speeding concerns and improve traffic safety. Urban SDK’s platform will provide Gastonia with actionable insights to make informed decisions, reduce speeding, and foster safer streets for its growing community.”
