Traffic-Calming Measures and Road Traffic Collisions and Injuries: A Spatiotemporal Analysis

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2023
Abstract Traffic-calming measures (TCMs) are physical modifications of the road network aimed at making the roads safer. Although researchers have reported reductions in numbers of road crashes and injuries tied to the presence of TCMs, such studies have been criticized for their pre-/post- designs.
