SUMMARY SPEED REDUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR RURAL HIGH-TO-LOW SPEED TRANSITIONS North America's rural landscape is dotted with isolated settlements, villages, and small towns that are typically located on rural roads where the general speed limit is 55 to 60 mph (90 to 100 km/h)

2 ing speeds and crashes, and public acceptance of rural traffic calming measures is high, the effects of transition zone treatments are not sustained beyond the urban-rural threshold without additional downstream measures. The reported crash reduction factors have been quite significant, although methodological shortcomings with some of the studies may lead researchers to overestimate their effectiveness.
