“Slow Roads Saves Lives” calls on everyone – you, your neighbors, local leaders, traffic engineers – to embrace slowing down and saving lives. Speed limits are the most common way that we regulate individual speed choices in order to control the significant risks drivers can impose on others.

The power of slower speeds is that they lessen risk and save lives by making a person hit at the legal speed limit more likely to survive.
