This volume is part of a larger study providing information about public attitudes towards proposed highway safety countermeasures in three program areas: alcohol and drugs, unsafe driving behaviors, and pedestrian safety. Topic areas discussed in this volume include Speed Limit Acceptance, Speed Detection Methods, and Dangerous and Negligent Driving. For each proposed countermeasure, results from the public survey provide measures of opinion, acceptability, and perceived effectiveness. The relationship of various demographic factors (e.g., age, sex, education, income, etc.) to countermeasure acceptance and perceived effectiveness is also reported. Issues such as perceived effectiveness, perceived safety benefits, potential for public resistance, legal problems, and ideological perspctives emerged as the dimensions along which members of special interest groups evaluated each of the proposed countermeasures.
