Accordingly, the ideal speed was reduced to a reasonable posted speed limit based on actual conditions at the selected site. The adjustment factors developed in this study are for such variable as access density, road class, lateral clearance, lane width, and signal spacing. It was found that ...
Assessing the Impact of Speed Limit Changes on Urban Motorways: A Simulation Study in Lille, France Recent directives in France on sustainable development have driven local Authorities to the reduction of speed limits on urban highways. Consequently, Loca... S Cohen,Z Christoforou,R Seidowsky - ...

The Variable Speed Limit(VSL), is one of ITS technologies, is thought to improve safety and efficiency of transportation while controlling speed limit based on road conditions. Legacy studies have considered only one station for VSL algorithm. However, it is not appropriate for an urban freeway ...
throughout a road section where the imposed speed limit is not in accordance (too low) with road design.It is not clear how driving speed evolves and to what degree speed limit repetition is necessary on roads where the imposed speed limit is not in accordance (too low) with road design....
Nilsson proposed power relationships connecting changes in traffic speeds with changes in road crashes at various levels of injury severity. These relationships were empirically derived based on speed changes resulting from a large number of rural speed limit changes in Sweden during 1967-1972. Nilsson...
We assessed the 5-year, nationwide impact on road deaths of the raise in the speed limit (November 1, 1993) on 3 major interurban highways in Israel from 90 to 100 kph. Methods. We compared before-after trends in deaths as well as case fatality-an outcome independent of exposure (...
A 50mph limit on a country road with a high record of accidents, or with sharp corners, roundabouts and hidden dips. As you will have noticed, 20mph limits are becoming increasingly widespread in urban areas. They now cover the majority ofstreets in London, for instance. ...
Fieldwick and De Beer (1988) emphasised that an urban speed limit is a necessary and effective road safety tool. Speed limits convey important information to drivers as to what the safe maximum speed is for a certain road considering the prevailing conditions. Roads have prescribed speed limits ...
Link travel speeds in road networks are fundamental data in many research areas of traffic, transportation, and logistics. To support the research in these areas, we develop a dataset, containing the travel speeds on each road link and in different time periods together with the real road networ...
