This report describes the evaluation of a system for disseminating safety information to traffic violators through warnings issued by law enforcement officers. The objective of this approach was to reach traffic violators who are not cited for traffic offenses and, therefore, do not receive the type of safety information given to convicted traffic violators through court-sponsored traffic schools and State driver improvement systems. Through a series of pilot tests conducted in Iowa and Maryland, an informational booklet dealing with the dangers, financial penalties, legal consequences of speeding violation was developed. Informational material was accompanied by a brief open book test that was mailed back to the police. The authors believe that available data justify a tentative conclusion that the informational system was not effective in increasing compliance with the 55 mph limit or reducing speed-related accidents.
