The speed management is one of the most important criterions for road safety. Not only is road safety enhanced but the rate and degree of injuries is also reduced to a large extent.
High speeding vehicles which meet with accidents result in greater trauma for the victims. Greater kinetic energy is converted to greater impact and serious injuries as road safety measures are ignored. Even a slight reduction in speed will have a large impact on the safety of people, as fatalities are reduced during accidents occurring due to over speeding.
So speed management is the essence to road safety. This is implemented by monitoring through cameras like red light cameras, mobile speed cameras, covert cameras, etc. These act as deter rants to over speeding. Recent evidences have shown that by installing cameras in Victoria, there has been a reduction of 47% in casualty due to crashes and a cost saving to the tune of 8million dollars.
