摘要: Speed warnings and enforcement can be administered locally on a road stretch, and on a road network. Local automatic speed warning at an urban intersection reduced the mean speed by 5 km/hr. Theoretically, a reduction in accidents of 25 to 65% can be achieved. At a rural intersection, the speed limit was reduced from 100 to 70 km/hr. An automatic sign warns speeding cars; this resulted in a lowering of the mean speed from around 80 to 63 km/hr. An automatic speed warning and enforcement system on two-lane rural road stretches where the speed limit is 80 km/hr resulted in a reduction of the mean speed from 78 to 73 km/hr; the percentage of speeders decreased from 40 to 10%. The total number of accidents was reduced by 35%. This effect was almost the same three years after concluding the experiment. The problem of vandalism could be diminished by mounting the camera on a high pole, mechanically preventing climbing of the pole, automatic detection of vandalism, and wireless communication to a nearby police station. Enforcement of speed on a provincial road network using radar and camera exclusively from a parked unmarked car was conducted in three provinces. A sign downstream of the enforcement site read "Your speed has been checked. Police." Periodic information campaigns were conducted to increase awareness of the risk of being caught. The result was a reduction of average speed by 4 to 5 km/hr, although the percentage of speeders is still high (a reduction from 40 to 30%). This type of enforcement is accepted by 75% of the drivers. Greater priority for speed enforcement is needed in addition to automating enforcement and processing to increase efficiency.
