3 INTRODUCTION The Annual Speed Monitoring Program is administered by the Traffic Information Division of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Fedral Highway Administration (FHWA). Prior to the enactment of the Federally-mandated National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL), the purpose of the Annual Speed Monitoring Program was to provide reliable speed data that was used to evaluate statewide speed trends for highway design applications. After the NMSL was instituted in 1974, states were required to implement comprehensive programs to monitor speeds to determine the level of motorist s compliance with the 55 MPH speed limit. At this time, the emphasis of the program was to provide speed data to determine the state s level of compliance with the NMSL. In November 19, the National Highway Designation Act, was enacted, resulting in the repeal of the NMSL. Because Nevada is no longer required to submit an annual certification of speed limit enforcement, the purpose of the speed monitoring program is to provide speed data for trend analysis relative to the effects of the increased speed limits and the possible effects on speed related crashes. The program has continued under the same format for the past three years. Twenty-Nine locations statewide are monitored on roadways posted at 5 MPH or greater. Monitoring is conducted on an annual basis only and reporting is on a calendar year cycle. Annual speed data is collected with GOLDEN RIVER MODEL 3040 and 30 traffic recorders and DIAMOND MODEL TT2001 classification recorders. Location descriptions are shown on the following page. 1
