Abstract

Exceeding the prescribed speed limit represents one of the most common forms of unlawful driver behavior in urban areas. In order to reduce the risk of traffic accidents caused by inappropriate speed, various traffic calming measures and techniques are applied. This paper examines the effect of preventive radar speed measurement devices on compliance with vehicle speed limits. The research was conducted in the Municipality of Bar, on the M-1 state road, along the Bar–Ulcinj section, which passes through a populated area, both before and after their installation. Reference data were obtained from measurements conducted in June 2024, when only rumble strips were implemented at the study location. On that occasion, a total of 472 vehicles were recorded using aerial drone footage. The results indicate that rumble strips reduce vehicle speed by 4.93 km/h; however, 79.2% of drivers still exceed the prescribed speed limit. Therefore, a comparative analysis was performed following the installation of preventive radar speed measurement devices, and their effects in combination with rumble strips were evaluated.
