Are Speed Enforcement Cameras more Effective than other Speed Management Measures? An Evaluation of the Relationship between Speed and Accident Reductions

This article was concerned with the average effects of the different types of speed management schemes on accident frequencies and speeds. The analysis was concerned with the average effect of the various types of speed management schemes. The variation in the reduction in the annual accidents within each scheme type was, however, considerable, as was the impact on speed. The paper then describes the next step of the analysis: to develop models that would enable a prediction of how the impact of treatment on accidents varies both with speed change and with site and scheme characteristics.
