VEHICLE SPEEDS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. SOME PRELIMINARY RESULTS

The paper presents data from a pilot survey for a programme of research on vehicle speeds in residential areas. The sites were at or near sharp bends in Oxford and London. The numbers of sites and observations were small but the results give at least a general indication of the range of speeds likely to be encountered in such locations. /Author/TRRL/
