This book was released on 1977 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, there were 54,590 traffic fatalities on the streets and highways of America. The mileage death rate was 4.17 deaths per 100 million miles traveled. In 1974, 1975 and 1976, there were 45,536, 44,995, and 45,113 traffic fatalities, respectively, and the mileage death rate dropped to an all time low of 3.3 in 1976. A major reason for this dramatic reduction in loss of life has been the imposition and continuation of the 55 mph speed limit. Initially imposed as a fuel conservation measure, the 55 mph speed limit has resulted in safety benefits far beyond the most optimistic predictions of safety experts. Some studies have concluded that approximately 50 percent of the more than 9,000 lives saved each year since 1973 can be attributed to the 55 mph speed limit. A recent study by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) concluded that at least 66 percent of the fatality reduction is directly attributable to the 55 mph speed limit. Given that these studies are relatively accurate, it can be concluded that 4,500 to 6,000 lives have been saved each year as a result of the 55 mph speed limit. No other traffic safety measure thus far implemented has achieved this degree of success in saving lives. This publication contains selected facts about the 55 mph speed limit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An update is provided of key legislative changes that have taken place concerning the fifty-five miles-per-hour National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL). Summary statistics through the 1978 time period are followed by summaries of the literature reviewed on the benefits of the NMSL. An annotated bibliography of 16 studies represents various points of view and interests of the traffic safety community, and a supplementary list of references is provided. Findings of the Task Force are presented with the range of estimates for conclusions drawn. Since the 1973-4 decreases in fatalities, travel, and speed, there have been small increases for 1976-8, but the level of fatalities has not returned to pre-55 mph NMSL levels. In spite of a shortage of reliable data, it was concluded that 20,000 to 30,000 lives were saved in the 1974-1978 period.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report contains an analysis of the life saving benefits resulting from the 55 mph NMSL from 1974-1979. Monthly fatality data from 1970-1979 was used in a time series model to arrive at the estimated safety benefits (lives saved). The time series model relates changes in monthly fatalities to changes in monthly vehicle miles traveled, introduction of safety improvements and the implementation of the 55 mph NMSL law. Increases in highway fatalities in 1976-1979 compared to the 1974-1975 level led to a detailed examination and analysis of the composition of these fatalities in order to determine possible causes for the increases. Based upon the available data, it was concluded that 55 mph compliance had eroded somewhat in 1977 and 1978 thus resulting in some fatality increases.
