Operational guidance for the data-led enforcement of speeding violations

The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of speed enforcement challenges, solutions and step-by-step guidance to both law enforcement and civilian personnel to assist with the development of data-led enforcement of speeding violations. Traffic police in the People's Republic of China (PRC) are attempting to improve traffic safety in their jurisdictions, by reducing the incidence of speeding, and increasing compliance with safety restraint laws and other motor vehicle codes. In the case of speeding this has proven to be one of the more significant contributing factors in road crashes and the resulting harm generated. In particular in the PRC the significant number of pedestrian fatalities will benefit from speed reduction approaches that will have an impact on the severity and frequency of crashes. To add further challenges to this topic other developments such as rapid urbanization, growth in GDP and per capita incomes, rising aspirations in the emerging economies are leading to rapid motorization. The number of vehicles in China has grown from 5.5 million in 1990 to 37 million in 2006 and is projected to increase to 270 million by 2030.
