The sites selected included sites with historical measurements supplemented by new sites to give a broad range of road types. Individual speed and vehicle classification data was collected for one week on local, collector and arterial roads in metropolitan and rural areas. Surveys on a subset of 52 roads in built up areas conducted to evaluate the impact of the 50 km/h Default Urban Speed Limit were used to monitor trends dating back to 2002. The 132 sites measured in 2007 established a benchmark more representative of the road network as a whole. The paper discusses some initial comparisons with previous datasets and general points of interest in mass speed datasets from a road safety research perspective. | | Publisher | Road Traffic Authority of New South Wales | | Publisher City | Sydney | | ISBN | 9781921692260 | | Conference Name | 2009 Australasian Road Safety Research, Policing and Education Conference | | Conference Abbreviation | RSR | | Conference Location | Sydney, Australia | | Conference Date | 11-13 November 2009 | | Page Range | 469-476 | | Page Count | 8 |
