Abstract

THE heavy toll of accidents on the roads in Great Britain, averaging at present about 20 fatal accidents and 590 non-fatal accidents a day, has at last thoroughly aroused public opinion, and the recent imposition of a speed limit of 30 miles an hour in built-up areas is the latest attempt to reduce the appalling toll of these accidents. Important as the question of accidents may be, it is not the crux of the road traffic problem, and as Mr. Mervyn O'Gorman pointed out in his lecture to the British Science Guild last December, which has recently been made available as a pamphlet, an approach to the problem from this angle may lead to serious if not highly dangerous errors.
