CAREC Road Safety Engineering Manual 7: Why and How to Manage Speed

Reducing travel speeds by 10 km/h on roads in Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries would halve crash deaths and would also reduce the considerable economic cost of accidents. The manual summarizes evidence to help stakeholders in the CAREC region improve speed management. It looks at how road design, vehicle technology, and user behavior affect accidents and outlines potential interventions.

About the CAREC Road Safety Engineering Manuals

The series of road safety engineering manuals of the CAREC Program came from the endorsement of the CAREC Road Safety Strategy 2017-2030 by member countries. The strategy supports and encourages CAREC authorities to plan, design, construct, and maintain safe roads.
