Speed management is not necessarily about reducing speed, but to a considerable extent about planning and designing the road layout and the road network in such a way that an appropriate speed is obtained. The main objective of this report was to develop recommendations for speed management strategies in our country. Safety researches related to speed was reviewed on the basis of literature studies.
