Abstract:The role of vehicle operating speed in traffic crashes is a complex issue, as speeding-related crashes continue to pose significant challenges. Speed greatly impacts both the frequency of crashes and the severity of the resulting injuries. Additionally, excessive speed raises the likelihood of losing control during evasive maneuvers and amplifies crash energy disproportionately. At the national level, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) continues to recognize an urgent need to curb speeding-related crashes, particularly following their 14-year high in 2021. The department has adopted a new national directive implementing the Safe System Approach (SSA), which builds multiple layers of protection through safer roads, safer people, safer vehicles, safer speeds, and better post-crash care.
