Every year, speeding is a contributing factor in nearly 1/3rd of all fatal crashes. In 2020 alone, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that speeding killed over 11,000 people on U.S. roads. For every one mile per hour increase in a vehicle’s speed, an individual is three percent more likely to be killed in a collision. Small differences in speed can mean life or death. Combatting this deadly driving behavior with every possible tool — policy, street design, technology — is critical to the safety of all road users, particularly our most vulnerable.

Hear from elected representatives, engineers and planners, and advocates who are proving we can (and must!) manage speed for safety.
