Why is speed so important ?
“A 1% reduction in mean speeds leads to a 2% reduction in injury accidents, a 3% reduction in serious injury accidents and a 4% reduction in deaths.” (Aarts, L. & van Schagen, I. (2006), based on Nilsson (1982)
"It is estimated that speeding contributes to as many as one third of all crashes resulting in death, and is the most important contributory factor to road deaths and serious injuries.” (ETSC 2008)

Do you remember high school physics?
Ek =½mv²In which the kinetic energy of an object is equal to half the mass multiplied by the squared speed of that object.

Key issues speed managemento Reduce the average speed across all road types in the network
o Focus on urban areas which have a high percentage of vulnerable road users (max 50 km/h)
o Special focus on residential areas where motorised vehicles should be see as ‘guests’ (max 30 km/h)
o Speed management and road safety important contributors to higher quality of life and urban sustainability (noise, emissions, barrier effects)

Speed management measures
o Building or changing roads with traffic calming measures
o Matching the speed limit to the function of road
o Informing speed limits by signage
o Enforcing speed limits
o Publicity to increase the awareness on the dangers of speeding
o Promoting in-vehicle speed limiting technologies

Speed enforcementIntroduction
o Rising motorisation: maintaining enforcement levels
o Limits to manual police enforcement
o Speed management requires 24/7/365 approach
o Use valuable police resources for ‘non-automatable’ tasks
o Authorities & NGOs aware of need automated enforcement
o Automated enforcement benefits ‘fine leakage’
o Implementation is challenge for many governments

Two enforcement modelso Government buys enforcement and back office equipment
and manages and executes ticket issuance and fine
collection process.
o Government sets PPP criteria and leaves enforcement operation
up to a private party with violation confirmation by the police.

PPP planso Objective: road safety, saving lives, QoL,
never revenue driven o Inform public about safeguards, private
party caps, surplus fine allocation, etc. to
create and maintain support

Transparency and Integrity
o Internet access to review e.g. photo, video,
violation data, approvals o Integrity: type approval, annual verification,
authorising officer codeo Inform: why, where and results of
enforcemento No effective enforcement without publicity

Conclusionso Reducing average vehicle speed has huge road safety
benefitso Infrastructure adaptationso Matching speed to road functiono Raise awareness for speed and enforcement through
publicityo Manual and automated enforcemento Consider IRF PPP enforcement modelo Speed reduction strongly benefits Quality of Life
