Abstract

As part of a program to examine the relationship between highway traffic safety and the use of radar detectors, comparisons were made between speed distributions when a detectable radar transmission was present and when it was not. The data analyzed for this effort clearly show an influence of radar detectors on traffic behavior when radar is present. This influence can have a negative impact on speed enforcement.
