| 摘要： | Since January 1998, Texas motorists can receive double fines for speeding in work zones. Yet, Texas Transportation Institute researchers discovered the new double-fine law resulted in little change in traffic speed. Researchers conducted speed studies at 10 work zone construction projects before and after implementation of the work zone double-fine law. Average speeds after law implementation, relative to before-law conditions, were statistically unchanged at six of the 10 sites. At seven of the 10 sites, more than two-thirds the motorists exceeded the posted speed limit. It is concluded that higher levels of enforcement are needed to achieve compliance. |
