Penalty Schedules and the Optimal Speed Limit

This paper incorporates the penalty schedule associated with the enforcement of a speed limit into the analysis of speed choice. If inadequately formulated, a penalty schedule may induce drivers to increase their speed relative to their unrestricted choice. It is always possible, however, to design a penalty schedule such that drivers will reduce their speed. It is also possible to induce total compliance with the speed limit.
