Book Description
The objectives of this study were to determine whether differential or uniform speed limits are more beneficial to transportation safety and traffic operations on Interstate highways. The approach to achieving this objective was to examine speed and accident data from States employing both types of limits. Speed data were collected in 12 States at rural and urban locations representing all speed limits currently established on the Interstate highway system for cars/trucks, i.e., 55/55 mi/h (89/89 km/h), 65/55 mi/h (105/89 km/h), 65/60 mi/h (105/97 km/h), and 65/65 mi/h (105/105 km/h). Accident data were obtained from nine States which were geographically distributed across the country and representative of all rural Interstate speed limits currently established. For the speed data collected, a number of measures of effectiveness (MOEs) were examined including mean speed, speed variance, compliance, and speed distribution measures. For the accident data collected, types of crashes were examined (e.g., rear-end) along with vehicle type involvement (e.g., car-into-truck) and crash severity. This final report summarizes the effects of uniform and differential speed limits on transportation safety and traffic operations as determined by the examination of speed and accident data.

Book Description
This study aimed to examine the effect of the increase in the heavy vehicle speed limit from 80 to 90 km/h on 1 January 1987. Articulated vehicle mean free speeds were found to have increased in four States; car speeds remained stable. The speed differential between cars and articulated vehicles was reduced from 10 to 8 km/h. Rural areas. Heavy vehicles. Trucks. Road safety. Articulated trucks. Road accidents.
Strong Towns

Book Description
A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

Book Description
Speeding heavy vehicles1 have been a public concern for many years, primarily from a safety perspective. A recent survey found that speeding of heavy vehicles is ranked as the highest public concern about the road transport industry. Available data shows that speed is an important factor in heavy vehicle crashes. One estimate is that if all heavy vehicles comply with speed limits, there would be a 29 per cent reduction in crashes involving them.
