Abstract

In 1996, the local authorities of Gladsaxe, a municipality of 62,000 inhabitants situated in the northern part of Copenhagen, established a 40 km/h speed zone in the residential area of Morkhoj. The normal speed limit in Danish urban areas is 50 km/h. This pilot project became a success with a marked reduction in speed levels and a 76 per cent decrease in traffic accidents. Overall, the 6,000 inhabitants in Morkhoj have been satisfied with the new speed limit. For the covering abstract see ITRD E117761.
