Accession Number: 00225430
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THIS STUDY WAS MADE TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING MINIMUM SPEED LIMITS BY LANE ON MULTIPLE-LANE HIGHWAYS. THIS WAS DONE BY ERECTING SIGNS AND OBSERVING TRAFFIC AT FOUR DIFFERENT SITES IN THE STATE. THE FACTORS UNDER PARTICULAR CONSIDERATION INCLUDED MEAN SPEEDS, SPEED DISTRIBUTIONS, HEADWAYS, HEADWAY DISTRIBUTION, VOLUME DISTRIBUTION BY LANE, LANE CHANGING, PASSING ON THE RIGHT AND ENFORCEMENT PROBLEMS. BEFORE-AND-AFTER OBSERVATIONS REVEALED FEW IF ANY BENEFICIAL RESULTS OF THE MINIMUM SPEED LIMITS AND SHOWED SOME RESULTS DEFINITELY UNFAVORABLE TO OPERATION AND SAFETY. /AUTHOR/
