The Speed Radars Are Working
November 30, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
The ISF on the results of installing speed radars:
Accidents decreased by 18.4 percent, injuries decreased by 22.6 percent and fatalities dropped by 50 percent
They said they compared the figures of October (before installing the radars) with those of November (after Installing the radars). While I don’t dispute that the radars have something to do with the improvements, the statistics strike me as shabby. Is the time frame representative enough? (The first week right after the installation of the radar could have witnessed unusually cautious driving) Did they control for other factors (Was November 2009 better than October 2009?)
