‘ShLOW!’ is a two year pan European project funded by the European Commission. ‘ShLOW!’ aims at mobilising transport research into speed management to demonstrate how excessive and inappropriate speed on our roads network can be reduced through existing measures. ‘ShLOW!’ will focus on the work of committed young students who will be encouraged to run a local speed management action to reduce speeding in road transport with the support of ETSC and its partners. The project is coordinated by the European Transport Safety Council in conjunction with a consortium of 13 organisations spread across 10 EU countries. Reductions in driving speeds (even minor ones) make an important contribution to reducing the numbers of road traffi c deaths and injuries, as well as contributing to the abatement of C02 and other pollutant emissions. Yet, proven and available speed managements methods are still scarcely and often inappropriately used. The present publication is intended as a toolkit of measures for the students participating in this 2 year project, but will also be useful for any individual interested in speed management.
