Sometimes Faster is Better

The video discusses the perception and reality of speed limits and road safety. It explains that national speed limits were initially set for energy conservation, not safety. The video examines the impact of speed limit changes on accident rates, highlighting that speed variation, not speed itself, is a significant safety concern. A case study on Route 3 in Massachusetts illustrates how speed limits can affect safety, suggesting that consistent speeds are safer than slower speeds.
