As speed increases over 100 km/h, the fatality rate of vehicle occupants goes up exponentially. For example, the chances of being killed in a vehicle traveling at 120 km/h are four times higher than at 100 km/h. When a car crashes near 200 km/h the chances of survival are minimal.

Do Higher Speed Limits Cause Accidents, What About All The Studies From The US?

So what side do you fall on?

I didn't read all 5 cover to cover, but out of 5 studies, 3 were against faster roads, 2 were for faster roads.

To me the later two supporting faster roads used more complete science. Using overall incident & injury rates when comparing the same roads at different speed limits.

While the other ones basically said if something hits you harder it is more likely to kill you, and most people who get in accidents were speeding so speeding must of caused the accidents.
