Good news! For people that like speeding in work zones! The Missouri Department of Transportation just acquired two Long Range Acoustic Devices, or LRADs, to blast incredibly loud noises at drivers as they speed past construction sites. This is definitely, definitely going to go over well.

The Missouri DoT plans to blast a high-pitched siren, very loudly, along with warnings to "slow down" to drivers.

The LRAD first came to prominence over the last decade, as it was found to be a non-lethal cureall for riotous crowd control, and also pirate defense. Point an LRAD at someone who finds whatever you're doing disagreeable, fire the sucker up, and suddenly they are blasted with up to 153 decibels of noise.

And how loud is 153 decibels? Well, lets put it this way: a standard-issue firework, if there is such a thing, exploding three feet away from you is slightly quieter. A Boeing 747 taking off right next to your head is much quieter.

Permanent hearing loss begins at 130 decibels.
