APPROPRIATE SPEED - WHOSE CHOICE IS IT

In October 1998 the British Government launched a review of speed policy. The purpose was to establish how best speed policy can reflect government objectives relating to the environment, economy, and people's quality of life, while remaining effective at reducing the number of people killed and injured on the roads of Great Britain. This paper's review aims to establish what vehicle speeds are necessary to meet the wide objectives of the White Paper, the suitability and acceptability of the measures needed to achieve them, and what part speed limits play in this.
