More Information on The Effects of Speed on Highway Safety

More confirmation of the findings of the study we participated in back in the 90s, see Effects of Speed on Accident Frequency?

Following recently posted on Linkedin:
Global Road Safety Partnership
  • In Australia, the speed limit on Melbourne’s rural and outer freeway network was increased from 100 km/h to 110 km/h in 1987 and then changed back to 100 km/h in 1989.

    Compared to a control group (an area where the speed limit remained the same), the injury crash rate per kilometer traveled increased by 24.6% following the change from 100 to 110 km/h, and decreased by 19.3% following the change back to 100 km/h.

    When speeds reduce, everyone wins.
