History

Historical Context

In response to rising traffic fatalities, which peaked at over 54,000 in 1973, the U.S. enacted the National Maximum Speed Law, limiting speeds to 55 mph. Despite these measures, road safety remains a concern, particularly for vulnerable users like cyclists, as highlighted by a recent collision in Ellel, Lancaster. Continued public awareness and legal reforms are crucial to enhance road safety.
