Abstract

In an attempt to replicate several previous studies, a reversal design was used to assess the effects of publicity posted feedback on vehicle speed reduction. The intervention phases consisted of daily posted feedback that supplied drivers with either accurate or inaccurate information regarding the percentage of vehicles exceeding the speed limit on the road. Results from the two feedback conditions indicated no speed reduction in comparison to baseline levels. These results are discussed in light of previous studies that found strong effects for such feedback. Baseline levels of driver compliance and methodologica differences may limit the effectiveness of posted feedback in reducing speeding.
