Samenvatting
In the autumn of 2001, speed limits were lowered from 80 km/h to 70 km/h and from 90 km/h to 80 km/h on hazardous road sections in Norway. These road sections had been identified as having a high expected injury severity density (based on accident costs pr km), i.e. a high number of fatal or serious injury accidents per kilometre of road. This report is an evaluation of how these changes in speed limits have affected speed and accidents. (Author/publisher)
