ENFORCEMENT OF SPEED LIMITS - ACTUAL POLICY AND DRIVERS' KNOWLEDGE

This paper has two aims: to review the actual penalty rules for speeding in Norway, the probability of getting caught speeding, and thereby the expected penalty for speeding offences; and to describe the conducted survey and to show Norwegian drivers' perceived values of penalties, detection rates and thereby perceived expected penalty for speeding. Also examined is the relationship between different driver characteristics and their knowledge of the enforcement policy for speeding. The paper summarizes the main conclusions and raises some additional issues related to speed regulations.
