TTI Expects Same ‘’Average’ Driver
Texans will be permitted to
travel at 70 miles per hour Friday
—legally that is—as a new state
speed law becomes effective.
The law will up the maximum
daytime speed to 70 as opposed to
60. Night drivers will be held to
65 mph.
A&M officials schooled in traffic
problems don’t expect any imme
diate change in the pace of the
“average” motorist, however.
THE MAIN REASON is many
people are already exceeding the
posted 60 mph limits. Studies show
roadway conditions have more in
fluence on the traffic pace.
“The new speed law will legalize
speeds many drivers have already
adopted,” Neilon J. Rowan of the
Texas Transportation Institute,
said. “Some other states also have
the 70 mph law.”
An earlier study by Rowan and
Charles J. Keese, TTI’s executive
officer, revealed 24 to 49 per cent
of the drivers at four East Texas
locations exceeded speed limits even
/under radar enforcement.
The presence of radar units, in
fact, caused only a temporary ef
fect on the motorist’s speed. Al
though radar may have a long
range effect on speed, the localized
influence did not extend beyond
four miles on either side of the
I’adar station.
RESEARCH SHOWED traffic
responds to changing conditions on
the roadways and surrounding
areas. Curves, residential and in
dustrial development, road intersec
tions and limited view were among
the greatest factors causing re
duced speeds.
Texas automobiles and highways
are, for the most part, designed
for greater speed, William R. Mc-
Casland, a TTI research engineer
pointed out. How safe our roads
will be in the future will depend
upon drivers.
Rowan mentioned that speed is
often the “whipping post” for auto
mobile accidents and added: “Sel
dom is one single factor the reason
for an accident; the real cause is
a complexity of factors, of which
driver error is primary.”
