The Safety Department of Rijkswaterstaat commissioned SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research to carry out a pilot study into driving speeds in a medium-sized municipality in the Netherlands. This paper analyzes data from speed measurements using pneumatic tubes carried out in the municipality of Ede. The paper gives an overview of variation in speed on different arterial roads in this city, depending upon the following variables: (1) day of the week; (2) time of day; and (3) traffic intensity. Important results of this analysis are as follows: (1) Speed limits were greatly exceeded; (2) No relationship was found between traffic intensity and the number of offenders who exceeded the speed limits; and (3) speed measurements using radar and pneumatic tubes appeared to complement each other well.
