It is estimated that by 2020 road accidents will rise from ninth to third place in the worldwide ranking of the burden of disease. Traffic calming can reduce road accidents; however, many motorists do not adhere to speed limits. We report on an intervention that can influence many motorists at dangerous sites, where accidents are likely to occur (e.g., near playgrounds, schools). The intervention is a speed-displaying device mounted next to the road (visible to both motorists and the public). Our findings indicate that the device is associated with a significant speed reduction relative to the control condition.
据估计,到2020年,道路交通事故在全球疾病负担排名中将从第九位升至第三位。交通稳静化措施可以减少道路交通事故;然而,许多驾车者并不遵守限速规定。我们报告了一项干预措施,该措施可以在事故可能发生的危险地点(例如操场、学校附近)影响许多驾车者。该干预措施是安装在路边的速度显示装置(驾车者和公众都能看到)。我们的研究结果表明,与对照情况相比,该装置能显著降低车速。
