ROAD LAYOUT AND ADJUSTED DRIVING SPEEDS

OVER WEGINRICHTING EN AANGEPASTE RIJSNELHEDEN

This report examines possibilities for the reduction of car speeds in urban and rural areas, and thus improve safety. Two chapters deal with: 1, the importance of reducing speeds and what this involves; and 2, a survey of what can be done by various highway engineering and road layout measures to reduce.
