Speed limit enforcement and road safety
Bauernschuster, Stefan; Rekers, Ramona - 2019
We study the impact on road safety of one-day massive speed limit monitoring operations (SLMO) accompanied by media campaigns that announce the SLMO and provide information on the dangers of speeding. Using register data on the universe of police reported accidents in a generalized...

Welfare losses of road congestion
Russo, Antonio; Adler, Martin W; Liberini, Federica; … - 2019 - This version: May 2019
We estimate the marginal external congestion cost of motor-vehicle travel for Rome, Italy, using a methodology that accounts for hypercongestion (a situation where congestion decreases a road's throughput). We show that the external cost - even when roads are not hypercongested - is substantial,...
