Through-traffic and speeding have been shown to be major contributors to accidents in residential areas. Through-traffic can be eliminated by the use of a structured road hierarchy, but the reduction of speeding has proved a more difficult problem to remedy. The aim of the pilot study was to investigate, by means of regression analysis, factors that are thought to influence speed on residential roads. The study indicated that street length and width were the most important factors in determining speeds.
