“…A good practice analysis has confirmed the positive effect of fixed and mobile speed cameras on accident reduction on roads (Carnis & Blais, 2013;Čygaitė, Lingytė, Andriejauskas, & Vaitkus, 2013;Goldenbeld & van Schagen, 2005;Jones, Sauerzapf, & Haynes, 2008;Kaygisiz & Sümer, 2019). However, the camera catchment area is limited (Champness, Sheehan, & Folkman, 2005;De Pauw, Daniels, Brijs, Hermans, & Wets, 2014a;Li, Graham, & Majumdar, 2013).…”

“…Mountain, Hirst, & Maher (2004) have determined that statistically significant reduction of 25% of fatal and injury accidents is reported up to 250 m before and up to 250 m behind the camera site. Having made a comprehensive statistical analysis, Hess (2004), like Mountain, Hirst, & Maher (2004), has also determined that the largest decrease in the number of fatal and injury accidents is reported within the distance of up to 250 m on both sides of the camera. With the increasing distance, the effect of camera is decreasing: at a distance of up to 250 m the number of fatal and injury accidents after installation of speed cameras decreased by 45.74%; up to 500 m -by 41.30%; up to 1 km -by 31.62%; up to 2 kmby 20.86%.…”

Besides, Hess (2004) compared the effect of speed cameras after dividing camera sites according to road type and urban areas or outside urban areas. He has determined that speed cameras on A-roads (major roads) perform better than cameras on non-A-roads (minor roads) and speed cameras on outside urban areas (trunk roads) perform better than cameras on urban roads.…”

Average speed enforcement systems have been used on the roads of foreign countries for many years already, and give a positive effect on reducing accident number. The article presents good practices in the use of average speed enforcement systems in various countries and their impact on improving traffic safety. The article analyses the experience of system installation on the roads of Lithuania and the first results. The article also proposes methodologies for the selection of road sections to be enforced, the equipment used, and distribution of road sections in the road network of Lithuania. A detail analysis is given of the effect of average speed enforcement systems after their installation in three different periods on 25 road sections. The analysed data is differentiated between main and national roads. Conclusions and recommendations are given at the end of the paper for a future development of average speed enforcement systems.

“…Literature analysis showed that various methods are used to determine the effect of speed cameras. Most studies use naive before-after methods with control groups (Christie et al 2003;Cunningham et al 2008;Gains et al 2004;Goldenbeld, van Schagen 2005;Shin et al 2009). Other scientists use the empirical Bayes method (Gains et al 2005;Mountain et al 2004Mountain et al , 2005Newstead, Cameron 2003).…”

Excess speed is one of the largest road safety problems causing the increased risk of road crashes. A wide range of safety improvement measures, both educational and engineering, are being implemented to solve this problem. The main objective of those measures is to force vehicle drivers to observe the speed limit requirements and to ensure enforcement of speed requirements. This paper gives an overview of the impact of vehicle speeds on road safety and the effect of safety improvement measures. Possibilities for the implementation of sectorial vehicle speed enforcement system on the roads of national significance of Lithuania are presented. The paper contains criteria for the selection of road sections of Lithuania where the sectorial vehicle speed enforcement system could be installed. The amount of investments is also given necessary for the installation of sectorial vehicle speed enforcement system on the selected road sections as well as their one-year maintenance. Taking into consideration the damage incurred by the country due the people killed on roads a pay-back period of the sectorial vehicle speed enforcement system is determined.

“…Although existing methods to manage speed do influence actual speeds, in practice, it is typically to a limited extent and relies heavily on enforcement. Studies of different locations show different compliance rates with the speed limits, depending on road types (e.g., Goldenbeld and van Schagen 2005).…”

Free-Flow Travel Speed Analysis and Monitoring at the National Level Using Global Positioning System Measurements

et al. 2013

Among the main factors affecting road crash injuries, speed is considered as a leading cause and contributing factor. There are numerous studies linking travel speeds and road crashes. Hence, an essential part of road safety plans and interventions is devoted to speed management. However, to manage speed, actual travel speeds have to be systematically and consistently monitored and analyzed. In this study, a system for the collection and analysis of free-flow travel speeds on the road network is presented, enabling speed monitoring at the nationwide level. The paper focuses on the collection and analysis of travel speeds on different road sections. Using the information gathered through advanced technologies combined with geographical information systems, a comprehensive speed database in space and time is provided allowing visual presentation and comparison of the results. This analysis can identify the road sections with significant excesses of travel speeds relative to the speed limits. It can also serve as a baseline to evaluate the impact of various countermeasures employed to reduce speeds.
