Study on Speed Adjustment to Speed Limit

Speed exceeding is a major factor influencing traffic safetyIncreased speeding will likely result in augmenting the number of traffic accidents as well as the severity of the injuries resulting from high-speed accidentsHeightened speeds also have detrimental effects on the environment,such as air pollution and high level of noiseThis paper makes an investigation into speed choice on the road where speed is restrictedThe results show that drivers' speed judgements are based on current speed limit and 61% of drivers exceed the speed limitDriving patterns are influenced by the behavior of other driversA new idea is brought forward to effectively control driving speed
