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 study indicated that street length and width were the most important factors in determining speeds.
