The study aims to investigate the relationship between risk perception and compliance with speed limit, between speed limit credibility and driver’s compliance with speed limit, and between risk perception and speed limit credibility in a given rural single carriageway road and roadside environment. To achieve the aim, the speed limit credibility, subjective risk perception and compliance with speed limit are measured separately in given rural single carriageway road and roadside environment situations. Speed limit credibility is measured by speed limit rating score using a picture questionnaire. Subjective risk perception is measured by risk rating in an automated car driving simulator for a given speed and road environment. Speed limit compliance is measured by percentage of driving time below speed limit in the simulated manual driving task for the given speed limit and road environment. Multilevel regression and logistic regression analysis demonstrate that risk perception has a positive influence on compliance with speed limit. Credible speed limit has a positive influence on speed limit compliance. Risk perception has a negative influence on speed limit credibility.
