Abstract

This paper reviews the available research evidence for the effect of speed and speed limits on road accidents. It is structured to reflect the evidence currently available on: (i) the effect of speed limits on mean traffic speeds and proportion of speeding drivers; (ii) the effect of speed limits on accidents; and (iii) the relationship between speed and accident risk.
