speed management

Speed-related laws and engineering interventions: posted speed limits and limit-setting policy, traffic calming (speed humps, road narrowing, chicanes), variable speed limits, and speed-reduction strategies. About managing how fast vehicles travel through limits and road design, NOT the impaired-driving enforcement of dui_enforcement, the phone/texting bans of distraction_laws, the camera programs of automated_enforcement_cameras, or broad effectiveness studies (regulatory_evaluation).
