Abstract
The European Commission and EU transport ministers have set themselves ambitious targets for road safety for the coming decade: to halve the number of fatalities and the number of serious injuries on European roads by 2030. This paper addresses one of the key factors: speed and speed management. It is a collection of contributions from a number of distinguished researchers and experts on the various aspects of the topic: vehicles and technology, infrastructure design, speed limits and enforcement, as well as links with other policy areas.
