Speeding is the major cause of severe crashes in the United States. Speed management is essential to reduce fatalities and serious injuries for all road users in any crash, especially for vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and bicyclists. This study evaluated the effects of law enforcement presence on vehicle speeds for roadway segments with speeding issues. The project team used the citations and warning data collected through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 7 Enhanced Law Enforcement Engagement (ELEE) project to assess the effects of law enforcement presence, frequency, and duration on vehicle speeds on study corridors. The research findings demonstrate that the effects of police presence and number of citations and warnings on vehicle speeds were instantaneous, but no lasting impact of police presence was observed. The effects of police presence on vehicle speed may be limited if the law enforcement officers are not visible to the public, or limited citations and warnings are issued by the police officers.
