Abstract This study assessed drivers' perception of their driving speed on curves. A total of 206 drivers estimated their vehicle speed in the central part of a sharpleft curve with a small radius of 75 m and a super-elevation of 5.5%. A comparison of the mean speed estimates given by drivers after having passed the curve with their actual speeds at the central point of the curve (recorded by radar) showed that drivers underestimated their vehicle speeds. Speed estimation was more accurate for drivers who saw warning and speed limit signs. In general, experienced drivers and middle-aged drivers reported less accurate speed estimates than younger, less experienced drivers.
