EU recommendations
Target 50% less fatalities by 2010 Enforcement target: 25% reduction (14.071
fatalities) Safety level within EU 1:3 (Short-term police
enforcement/long term infrastructure) Reasoning: it is not the national laws/rules
that make the difference but the level of enforcement
Proposed measures based on experiences in SUN countries

ESCAPE Issues in speed enforcement
Despite high police enforcement
Massive % of speed violations Compliance only at police controlled locations Speed violations are socially accepted Small violations are subject of public/political
debate To hard to communicate in publicity campaigns

How to approach this:
Embed enforcement in speed management approach Promote credibility
Speed limits Fixed speed limits: while safe speed are context related develop Flexible contextual speed limits
Communicate on speed issues, address: Individual drivers are inadequate in (collective) risk assessment minor violations or on the serious ones (not only on black spots) in-line with alcohol random testing: what about random speed
checks

How to organize monitoring
Use performance indicators (e.g % of drink-drivers): not police hours
Set targets in terms of performance indicators
Evaluate + demonstrate effects (research!)
