2024, Journal of Safety ResearchAssessing the safety effectiveness of citywide speed limit reduction: A causal inference approach integrating propensity score matching and spatial difference-in-differences
2022, Transportation Research Part A: Policy and PracticeCitation Excerpt :In a nutshell, mixed conclusions were drawn regarding the safety effectiveness of speed limit changes in literature, and thus requiring more reliable evaluation methods. Firstly, the spatial spillover effect of the treatment site would impact crash occurrences on its neighboring sites, violating one essential causal assumption, SUTVA (Alhomaidat et al., 2020; Archer et al., 2008; Bartle et al., 2003; Brown et al., 1990; Casey and Lund, 1992; Garber and Graham, 1990; Godwin and Lave, 1992; Grundy et al., 2009; McKnight and Klein, 1990; Wagenaar et al., 1990). Secondly, the time trend caused by unobserved factors also requires more attention.
The effect of speed reductions on collisions: A controlled before-and-after study in quebec, Canada
2021, Journal of Transport and HealthCitation Excerpt :A similar study done a few years later came to the same conclusion: there was a 19% increase in fatal collisions in 1989 compared to the 1982–1986 average for states allowing speeds of 65 mph versus a 12% decrease for states that did not increase speed (Baum et al., 1991). Garber and Grahman (1990) obtained similar results by comparing collision rates on rural roads in states that increased their maximum speed (n = 40 States). Their results suggest that the new limits have increased the fatal collision rate by 15% (median for the 40 states).

2019, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :Lastly, some studies found no clear evidence of a link between road safety and increases to speed limits. For example, Garber and Graham (1990) found inconclusive evidence from all 40 states where the measure had been adopted to increase the speed limit to 65mph. In the same line, Yowell (2005) was unable to confirm the existence of a clear correlation between speed limit and fatality rate in 27 analyzed states.
