2018). Cavalier attitudes to the dangers of speeding are perpetuated by widespread and entrenched myths such as “a general belief that speeding slightly in excess of the limit (up to at least 5 km/h, perhaps as much as 10 km/h) is not associated with increased crash risk if the driver...
Safety cameras were first used in Australia in 1985 with the introduction ofspeed camerasinVictoria. Since then, the use of safety cameras has grown to include fixed red light and speed cameras, mobile speed cameras (that can be moved to different locations), and point-to-point cameras (also...

I circled up the road and around the complex two more times, with her speeding up and getting next to me until I finally looked at her and flipped her off and told her to leave me the f*ck alone. She finally backed off. Absolutely terrifying. What should I have done in that ...
This chapter covers design of rural roads according to the model for safe traffic used in the Vision Zero approach. Based on expected levels of the safety of vehicles and road users, the roads and the road side furniture should be designed to avoid fatal
3.4. Mobility Conditions: Congestion and Road Safety A main benefit that is expected from connected and autonomous mobility is the normalization of traffic flows with positive impacts on the reduction of congestion, due to more stable driving and speeding profiles [79]. Moreover, as approximately ...
Decreases in variance suggest that speeds become slightly more homogeneous, and large fluctuations are less evident, which is a positive outcome when the safety effects of speed differentials are considered [5,6]. In terms of speeding drivers, the improved visibility from active road studs does ...
