摘要: The problem of deteriorating road safety - marked by growing speed limit violations and increasing number of road accidents - was the reason for the installation of speed-monitoring radar cameras at a number of strategic roadway locations in Kuwait in 1995. During the first months following the installation drivers' observation and respect for speed limits, especially in the vicinity of the radar cameras were obvious. Mean traffic speeds at these sites were significantly below those measured before the installation. Due to lack of enforcement of the speed violators, drivers' respect for the radar cameras has gradually diminished during subsequent years. Recent measurements indicate that driver' respect for the speed limits have decreased even at camera sites. Statistical tests confirm the measurements. Increased enforcement of speed limits in the vicinity of the radar cameras is strongly recommended. For the covering abstract and the URL of the conference see ITRD E205706. (Author/publisher).
