I agree with you, mertle. Such studies are straightforward and can provide robist evidence for decision-makers. For example, select sections of motorway in various parts of the country, "pair" them, them randomly allocate half of the pair to have an increased speed limit for, say, two years. Gather data on speed of journeys, vehicle throughput per hour, accidents per month, deaths per annum, etc. Put the data into the public domain so everything is transparent, then act on the results.
Most of the medicines we take have been tested to these standards, why not road safety?
