摘要
Speed limits are an important policy instrument to reduce the gap between privately preferred speeds and socially optimum speeds. This paper considers the efficiency of using speed limits as a tool to force drivers towards socially acceptable speeds. The authors show that a uniform maximum speed limit in combination with a uniform minimum speed limit has a favourable effect.
