The greatest overall effect on casualty crashes involving vehicles travelling at speeds from 1 to 20 km/h above the speed limit will come from reducing speeds just above that limit in almost all cases. Analysis of where injury and fatal crashes occur indicates that while speed reductions of any type would be expected to reduce injuries and fatalities, the greatest potential gains for reducing injuries appear to be in targeting low level speeding on Adelaide low speed roads. For fatalities this would be extended to include low level speeding on high speed rural roads. | | Report Number | CASR076 | | Publisher | Centre for Automotive Safety Research | | Publisher City | Adelaide | | Sponsor | Motor Accident Commission | | ISBN | 978 1 921645 13 6 | | ISSN | 1449-2237 | | Page Count | 43 |
