Abstract

High travel speeds lead to more frequent crashes and more serious crash injuries; the higher the speed the worse the problem. Early in 1974, speed limits of 55 mph were enacted in all states to save gasoline during an acute shortage. They have had the benefit, too, in reducing deaths and injuries. This leaflet adresses the 55 mph speed limit.
